What were you trying to do?
Still trying to compile the program from my previous bug report.
What's wrong:
Because it uses hesiod, it must also use libresolv.a.
libresolv.a also calls bzero(), rindex(), and bcmp().
What should have happened:
It should have compiled. I should not be getting this sharp
headache and the idea that no program will ever compile on an
Athena Solaris machine...
Please describe any relevant documentation references:

I'd also like to point out that there are different versions
of libresolv.a in /usr/lib and /usr/athena/lib. Having two
different copies of the same library and no idea which I should
use is also a major source of headaches.
