I can't find where this is coming from; I had been using c-ares 1.2.1 for
building curl, and got this error:

There's no mention of ares_getsock in any of this c-ares' headers either.

I see there's a new(er) c-ares than mine, OK, download & upgrade...
c-ares-1.3.0. Before I go to install it, I grep thru the sources and there's
no ares_getsock here either, so this is not likely to solve my problem. nm
shows there's no symbol "ares_getsock" in the newly built shared library,
either. In fact, the only place I do see it is in the curl-7.15.4 source,
lib/hostares.c, line 112, in use (but not defined).

Checking Google for ares_getsock turns up something about a "hiper patch"?

What could the problem be?

linux, 2.6.16.18, gcc 4.1.1, configure command was:

./configure '--prefix=/usr' '--enable-shared' '--enable-static'
'--enable-http' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-gopher'
'--enable-file' '--enable-ldap' '--enable-dict' '--enable-telnet'
'--enable-manual' '--disable-ipv6' '--enable-nonblocking'
'--enable-thread' '--enable-ares=/usr/local' '--enable-verbose'
'--disable-debug' '--enable-crypto-auth' '--enable-cookies'
'--with-gnu-ld' '--with-ssl=/usr'
'--with-ca-bundle=/usr/share/curl/ca-bundle.pem' '--with-zlib=/usr'
'--with-libidn=/usr'
