You do that by making sure USE_THREADING_GETHOSTBYNAME doesn't get defined in
lib/setup.h - which it is by default - and recompile. Just delete the #define
around line 265.

I figure you do that by passing on the "enable debug" option to your compiler.
For MSVC, you should be able to just 'nmake [target]' in the lib/ directory
with a suitable debug target to get a debug version built . I think 'nmake
debug' or 'nmake debug-dll' are suitable.
