Found it, after a bit of searching. It's defined in /usr/include/ 
resolv.h, included from gio/gionetworkingprivate.h

It doesn't show up in my SL build from today. I can't see from  
configure why it would pick it up for your build but not for mine.  
Search for lresolv in configure and config.log; maybe you can see why  
it's getting picked up on yours.
