As of Athena 8.1 (Solaris 2.5.1) we no longer build
/usr/athena/lib/libresolv.a as it is no longer required. If you
replace that reference with "-lresolv" (to use the Solaris version)
you should be all set. Please let us know if you have any problems.

I'll make sure this gets into the release documentation if it isn't
there already.

Thanks for your report.
