This applies to the default test when calling
AC_CHECK_HEADERS([resolv.h])

Workaround is to use s.th. like this in configure.ac:

AC_CHECK_HEADERS([arpa/nameser.h netinet/in.h sys/socket.h sys/types.h])
AC_CHECK_HEADERS([resolv.h], [], [],
      [[#if HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H
        #  include <sys/types.h>
        #endif
        #ifdef HAVE_NETINET_IN_H
        #  include <netinet/in.h>   /* inet_ functions / structs */
        #endif
        #ifdef HAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_H
        #  include <arpa/nameser.h> /* DNS HEADER struct */
        #endif
        #ifdef HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H
        #  include <sys/socket.h> /* DNS HEADER struct */
        #endif
     ]])

Anyway, there should be a macro which provides this functionity.
