One annoying thing about Panther is the number of unix packages that will fail to compile, citing DNS related problems during the make.

e.g.
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -O2 -Wall -c `test -f dns.c || echo './'`dns.c
dns.c:234: error: `PACKETSZ' undeclared here (not in a function)

==== The solution? ====
replacing any instance of
#include <arpa/nameser.h>
with
#include <arpa/nameser_compat.h>
and also adding -lresolv to the LIBS section in the Makefile

These steps have been tested to work with mtr, but would probably also work elsewhere.
