Hi Khem,
in this commit, while merging res_state restructuring from trunk, we had
_res changed from macro to and extern to the global variable.
When we have threads (NPTL or linuxthreads does not make difference),
user application should access the _res through a function call, that in
case of NTPL, will return the address of the TLS variable, otherwise
the address of the global variable. IIUC it should behaves as errno and
errno_location.

In the NPTL we have the __res_state function defined in
libc/inet/_res_state.c, so I think that we should go back to previous
version. What do you think ?

The same should apply to the linuxthreads in my opinion, but probably we
 should add the __res_state function too. Any other linuxthreads and
more expert on resolv stuff may comments ?

Thanks,
Carmelo
