The glibc people made their resolver reentrant by using thread-local
storage for all resolver-related variables. So the global 'res' state
variable (resolv.h) is actually #defined to call a function that returns
the thread-local version.
But that begs the question: if their resolver is non-reentrant, do they
have getaddrinfo (which is mandatorily thread-safe)?
