This seems to be a bogus configure check, probably a leftover from the
libc5 days. I don't the source code references to the
res_gethostbyaddr function itself.
ypbind is another candidate for problems, but it's intimately tied to
glibc anyway and is thus a special case.
I still don't think this warrants a NEWS entry.
