It means that:

   #include <resolv.h>
   int main() { return 0; }

does not compile, but that /usr/include/resolv/h exists.

In other words, resolv.h depends on other headers that you must include
before including resolv.h itself.`
So to have a clean configure, the above header must be moved out of the
big AC_CHECK_HEADERS and into their individual checks where we can
specifically test for these dependencies. See for instance XShm.h (only
a vague quide).

The same thing goes for the other headers.
