Not all of them.
I dug a bit in the cvs history, and found that -lresolv was added
quite late, apparently in response to this:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-02/msg00030.php
Now that we don't support Kerb4 anymore, maybe we don't need it...
but testing with Kerb5 would surely be prudent before deciding that.
-lnsl seems to have been there since the beginning.
-lPW was added "for SCO support" in 1997:
