Hi,

Does a make world with NO_BIND=true also omit libresolv?

I have seen many references to using NO_BIND=true to avoid
compiling the DNS 'server' bind (which I dont use). Does 
it also omit libresolv? Isn't libresolv an integral part of
the OS? How would gethostbyname work without it?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
