IIRC the thread ended with Khem asking if UCLIBC_HAS_RESOLVER_SUPPORT='y' was 
in the uclibc configuration, the implication being that dn_comp is unavailable 
unless that is true. I'm not too familiar with how uclibc is configured and 
with only a brief glance at the recipe I can see the config seems to be 
automatically generated but I can't see exactly how additional options (beyond 
what gets added from DISTRO_FEATURES) would be added.

Khem, could you help out here?

Cheers,
Paul
