Oh, amd64!  I don't recall that being stated before!  That's the
issue.  GLibc on amd64 doesn't export res_search in the same way as
x86.  Honestly, I think we can probably just remove the res_search
checks, we really don't use it, as far as I know.

I've built from this SPEC on lots of systems and never seen this
problem.  What's your rpmbuild command-line, and what does it print
out at the beginning of the build process?  It should print out a
dozen lines describing the build environment.  Can you cut-and-paste
those here?
