> [Gerrit 5375|http://gerrit.asterisk.org/5375] changed the script ./configure how to look for required headers. In that change, the generic AC_CHECK_HEADERS is used. Currently, ./configure checks each header in that list individually, and tries to compile it via a small app. If a header is incomplete, the test fails. Therefore, the whole ./configure fails. However in that list of headers, {{resolv.h}} needs prerequisites—another header—because it is incomplete.
> Currently OpenBSD (tested latest; 6.2) is affected by this. Tested myself and confirmed by <https://stackoverflow.com/q/35359456>. I reported that issue to OpenBSD.
> For Asterisk, the workaround is to go for [particular header checks|http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Particular-Headers] which leverage the long-term knowledge of the GNU autoconf team.
> Because Gerrit 5375 has no issue report attached, I have to invite [~coreyfarrell] manually.
