Interesting. Fedora doesn't seem to package mDNSResponder as such ---
"dnf search mDNSResponder" just returns more pointers to avahi:

avahi-compat-libdns_sd.x86_64 : Libraries for Apple Bonjour mDNSResponder
: compatibility
avahi-compat-libdns_sd.i686 : Libraries for Apple Bonjour mDNSResponder
: compatibility
avahi-compat-libdns_sd-devel.x86_64 : Header files for the Apple Bonjour
: mDNSResponder compatibility libraries
avahi-compat-libdns_sd-devel.i686 : Header files for the Apple Bonjour
: mDNSResponder compatibility libraries

Is the AC_SEARCH_LIBS configure call needed to make PG build with the
FreeBSD package?
