Description of problem:
link error when i use libresolv.so

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gcc -oaxfr axfr.c -lresolv

Actual Results:  /tmp/ccUQ453C.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccUQ453C.o(.text+0x117): undefined reference to `__ns_initparse'
/tmp/ccUQ453C.o(.text+0x169): undefined reference to `_ns_flagdata'
/tmp/ccUQ453C.o(.text+0x16f): undefined reference to `_ns_flagdata'
/tmp/ccUQ453C.o(.text+0x185): undefined reference to `_ns_flagdata'
/tmp/ccUQ453C.o(.text+0x18b): undefined reference to `_ns_flagdata'
/tmp/ccUQ453C.o(.text+0x203): undefined reference to `__ns_parserr'
/tmp/ccUQ453C.o(.text+0x275): undefined reference to `__ns_name_uncompress'
/tmp/ccUQ453C.o(.text+0x2aa): undefined reference to `__ns_sprintrr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Additional info:

gcc -static -oaxfr axfr.c -lresolv (work fine)

[root@localhost DNS]# nm /usr/lib/libresolv.a | sed "s/[^ ]* //" |sort >a 
[root@localhost DNS]# nm /usr/lib/libresolv.so | sed "s/[^ ]* //" |sort >so

[root@localhost DNS]# diff a so |grep __ns_initparse
< T __ns_initparse
> t __ns_initparse
<         U __ns_initparse

[root@localhost DNS]# diff a so |grep _ns_flagdata
< D _ns_flagdata
> d _ns_flagdata
<         U _ns_flagdata


What the difference of "T" or "t" ???
I have not seen anything in man or info for "t"
