> 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:
