See bug 586510.   It appears that on Tiger we need to explicitly link
against libresolv, this is not needed on Leopard and higher.  I also
reported this when I ran into it (bug 590482), there seems to be a
patch which has not been reviewed yet.  Unless the GLib maintainers
object I will review and commit a patch for this then :)
