libresolv is one giant pile of shit really (not specific to uClibc). it's
something that clearly just grew up without real design thought behind it
which means none of the interfaces are standardized and there's lots of behind
the back symbols (including ones with leading underscores).
so i dont think there is much worth in trying to boil down libresolv to
"standard only features" as there is no such thing. either you dont want
libresolv at all (awesome!) and so it shouldnt be built (make that a config
option?), or you do want libresolv which means you get all of the crap.
i guess you could make an argument about enabling only the perceived "common"
symbols that people tend to use. so the Kconfig logic would be:
[*] Enable libresolv
[*] Enable uncommon symbols
