Append -lresolv to LIBS early on Reliant Unix

libresolv isn't checked until late in configure, and if it's needed the it's
*prepended* to LIBS. Reliant Unix apparently doesn't like that.

This patch does it early on Reliant. I think the root cause is probably a
linker bug, but I think this should work around it.

I will also attach a configure rebuilt with this patch. Could you please
replace the configure that comes with OpenSSH 3.9p1 with this new one and
confirm whether or not it resolves the problem?

Target next release.

BTW if you have a working autoconf (v2.59) then you could also just apply the
patch and rebuild configure yourself with "autoreconf".

Since the patch affects only Reliant (which appears to be problematic anyway),
I've applied it. It will be in tomorrow's snapshot.

If it turns out to not resolve it then please reopen this bug.
