Yes, one that keep the thread-safety of h_errno, that the #undef
h_errno fix don't.
But, in final, I've the same behavior than you.
/etc/hosts lookups works fine.
But as soon as I try a DNS resolution, I (we!) hit the missing route
support.
I'm working on it...

Me neither.
Problems starts with DNS, but without route control support in the
stack, we're stuck now.
I'll see tomorrow if the old route module I reintroduce quickly works
as expected, but I don't have free time anymore
now, should wait one or two days...

Looks clear for me.
