Compiling nmh-1.0.1 on i386-netbsd-1.4, and running into
some errors with gethostent().

man gethostent returns

GETHOSTBYNAME(3)          NetBSD Programmer's Manual          GETHOSTBYNAME(3)

NAME
     gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostent, sethostent, endhostent, herror,
     hstrerror - get network host entry

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


but linking code that uses gethostent() results in a
unreferenced symbol error by ld.

Linking against -lresolv doesn't work, either. Actually, a
quick "nm /usr/lib/lib* | grep -i gethostent" doesn't turn
up anything.

Suggestions?
