OK, found at least one of the culprits, or where it starts.

The library calls gethostbyname, and that must call in a bunch more.

Wasn't quite clear on that.  When I try to execute the completed
program, it won't start, and says it can't find "nss_dns.so.0".

I didn't write the library I'm using, so I'm searching through it to
see what function they used.

What API do you use? The best API is probably getaddrinfo(3) or
the slightly more complicate res_query(3).

Why do you try to use that NSS module directly? There is no
reason to do that. NSS modules are supposed to be used by
the system's C library, not by applications.

        Kind regards
