> Please consider for inclusion in glibc the stat() patch used by Debian.

The Debian patch is incorrect, it breaks applications which override name
servers by direct access to _res.

I plan to add some /etc/resolv.conf auto-update functionality, but it will need
a different implementation.

This work is blocked by our inability to properly test libresolv and
/etc/resolv.conf processing right now.  A first step along the path is this
patch, which is still awaiting review:
