This library is required on Solaris since hstrerror resides in libresolv.
Additionally, on Solaris 7, inet_ntop and inet_pton reside there too.

Patch works for me on Solaris 8, though it is largely a non-issue:
hstrerror is only used at all if NO_IPV6 is set, and I don't set that
for my build.

Ah, in that case I guess NEED_RESOLV should only go in the 5.7 specific
configuration section.
