   No, on the contrary, I believe it became simpler and clearer. Sqrt
   wasn't really needed at all.

Since a sqrt() function was needed, obviously it needed it so why not
use a sane sqrt() fucntion like the one in libm?

   After a bit of investigation I found that libresolv is not needed
   as well, this dependency is just brought in by AC_CHECK_LIB global
   for entire project.

Ahh, I thought that it depended on it in some peculiar way.

But how does it resolve the hostname? Does it use libnss? If so then I
suspect that libresolv gets pulled in at a later stage too.

I think I will take a quick peek at ping...
