This is the entirely trivial problem about errno.h. ALL you have to do to
compile on linux is to remove the declaration of an external integer errno, and
replace it with #include <errno.h>
Believe it or not, I don't find this to be a terrible burden.
If I cared enough to change it, a three line shell script will do the job
nicely.
This is not a problem with djbdns, it is an attempt to imply that dbjdns is
difficult to build and thus should not be used.
I find no merrit in the argument.
