Patched configure.in and configure (line 4234) and built a package on
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS and everything seems fine:

------
checking whether x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc accepts -pthread... yes
checking if we can embed a Perl interpreter in C... yes
checking if it is safe to destroy and recreate a Perl interpreter... yes
checking for res_init in -lresolv... no
------

and I can reread config:
