OK, so I just gave this build a try. You can find the configuration actually 
used in the build in TMPDIR/work/i586-poky-linux-uclibc/uclibc-0.9.32-
r4.3/git/.config  (directory names may vary slightly depending on your build 
configuration). 

With master, when I checked my version of that file, 
UCLIBC_HAS_RESOLVER_SUPPORT=y is set, so apparently this feature is getting 
enabled by default. However, when I did the same on edison (which uses uclibc 
0.9.32 as opposed to 0.9.33) that setting is not present. Digging around I'm 
beginning to wonder if this option was perhaps added in uclibc 0.9.33, which 
if true would explain why it is not present when building uclibc in edison; 
but does that mean the underlying functionality was added in that version or 
just the option?

Cheers,
Paul
