This is a corresponding change to bin/67994. I'll soon commit
bin/67994 into 4-STABLE. Actually, 5-CURRENT's getaddrinfo()
doesn't have the problem mentiond in bin/67994. However, it is
good to be in sync variable name with 4-STABLE and KAME.

The getaddrinfo(3), getipnodebyname(3) and resolver(3) can coincide now
with what should be totally reentrant, and h_errno values will now
be preserved correctly, but this does not affect interfaces such as
gethostbyname(3) which are still mostly non-reentrant.
In all of these relevant functions, the thread-safety has been pushed
down as far as it seems possible right now. This means that operations
that are selected via nsdispatch(3) (i.e. files, yp, dns) are protected
still under global locks that getaddrinfo(3) defines, but where possible
the locking is greatly reduced. The most noticeable improvement is
that multiple DNS lookups can now be run at the same time, and this
shows major improvement in performance of DNS-lookup threaded programs,
and solves the "Mozilla tab serialization" problem.
No single-threaded applications need to be recompiled. Multi-threaded
applications that reference "_res" to change resolver(3) options will
need to be recompiled, and ones which reference "h_errno" will also
if they desire the correct h_errno values. If the applications already
understood that _res and h_errno were not thread-safe and had their own
locking, they will see no performance improvement but will not
actually break in any way.
Please note that when NSS modules are used, or when nsdispatch(3)
defaults to adding any lookups of its own to the individual libc
_nsdispatch() calls, those MUST be reentrant as well.
in KAME implementation, even when no policy is installed
into kernel, getaddrinfo(3) sorts addresses. Since it
causes POLA violation, I modified to don't sort addresses
when no policy is installed into kernel,

Our res_*() is not thread-safe. So, we share lock between
getaddrinfo() and getipnodeby*(). Still, we cannot use
getaddrinfo() and getipnodeby*() in conjunction with other
functions which call res_*().

KAME did the modification only to _dns_getaddrinfo(). However,
it is not sufficient, and res_queryN() should be modified, too.
So, I did same modification to res_queryN().

adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.
Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot

Sorry for the flapping, but no change will be done for 4.0 anymore.
Official standard will be published around April or later.
If different format would be adopted at that time, then support for
