   How the depot contents were built probably matters more.

   As usual, it might help if you showed what you did, and what happened
when you did it.  Data like which compiler (and version) could also be
useful.

   On an HP-UX 11.23 Itanium system, starting with my VMS-compatible kit
("http://antinode.org/dec/sw/wget.html", which shouldn't matter much
here), I seemed to have no problems building using the HP C compiler,
other than getting a bunch of warnings related to socket stuff, which
seem to be harmless.  (Built using "CC=cc ./configure" and "make".)

td176> cc -V
cc: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.13 [Nov 27 2006]

And I see no obvious name resolution problems:

td176> ./wget http://www.lambton.on.ca
--23:42:04--  http://www.lambton.on.ca/
           => `index.html'
Resolving www.lambton.on.ca... 192.139.190.140
Connecting to www.lambton.on.ca|192.139.190.140|:80... failed: Connection refuse
d.

d176> ./wget -V
GNU Wget 1.10.2c built on hpux11.23.
[...]

   That's on an HP TestDrive system, which is behind a restrictive
firewall, which, I assume, explains the connection problem.  (At least
it got an IP address for the name.)  And it's not the same OS version,
and who knows which patches have been applied to either system?, and so
on.
