The libbind functions have been separated from the BIND suite as of BIND

implementations are based on the same original code.
At present, NetBSD maintains libbind code, now known as "netresolv".
if not already defined. This allows building libc from outside of
lib/libc using a reach-over makefile.

version in a single iteration by building the COMPAT32 version using a
reach-over makefile.
