If a uClibc toolchain is build and buildroot has avahi enabled,
currently avahi must be contacted directly to resolve mdns addresses.

This patch enables the uClibc resolver to contact avahi, so
mDNS addresses become resolvable by using libc calls. To enable
this feature in uClibC, UCLIBC_HAS_AVAHI_RES must be enabled in
uClibc configuration

Thanks for this work. However, in Buildroot, we do not accept to carry
patches adding features to the different packages we have. We accept to
carry bug fixes or build fixes, but not entirely new features. For
these, we encourage people to get the features merged in the
respective upstream projects instead.

This allows us to avoid turning Buildroot into a big pile of
unmaintainable patches, which would prevent us from easily bumping
component versions. For example, once uClibc 0.9.34 is out, who will be
responsible for forward-porting such a large patch?

So please submit this to the uClibc community instead. While it gets
accepted, you can always add the patch to your local branch of
Buildroot.

Thanks again for contributing!

Thomas

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Make link-local addresses resolvable via running
+ avahi-daemon
+To: uclibc@uclibc.org
+
+nss-mdns is an extension to glibc to support resolution of link-local
+(.local) addresses via GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) which redirects
+the queries to a running avahi-daemon, which in turn does the resolution
+via multicast DNS (mdns).
+
+However, this does not work for uClibc, as it does not support NSS.
+
+This patch integrates the nss-mdns approach into uClibc's resolver,
+so getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() calls get redirected to a running
+avahi-daemon before trying to resolve via unicast DNS.
+
+This increases the size of the library by 50 bytes on ARM.
