It's in pending, so it's not fully reviewed and cleaned up, but it seems to work
when I tried it?

  $ ./host landley.net
  landley.net has address 208.113.171.142

Window Subsystem for Linux is basically an inverted version of Wine:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)

As with QEMU's application emulation, it intercepts and translates system calls,
and doesn't necessarily implement all of them.

(Or are you using cygwin? Or mingw? Or midipix?)

Toybox isn't reading /etc/resolv.conf, it's #including <resolv.h> and having
libc do stuff for it.

You're using cygwin.

I don't have a windows machine. I've never written a windows program. (I went
from a Atari 800 to C64 to Amiga to Dos to Desqview to OS/2 to Linux, wih
divergences into Solaris and AIX and a little bit of ancient MacOS, 6 months on
JavaOS, a couple horrible mainframe things, bare metal embedded things...)

I'm mostly familiar with Cygwin because EMX had a similar translation layer for
OS/2 (and years later I worked with somebody at TimeSys who maintained a chunk
of a cygwin fork), but lemme see if I can figure anything out here...

Hmmm... 11 is EAGAIN, which is just weird. (Is errno-base.h stable across
architectures?)

Toybox isn't threaded, I have no _clue_ what's going on here.

Locking for a pseudo-terminal handler? How is a PTY involved here?

What just exited?

It's setting signal handlers?

  $ strace ./host landley.net 2>&1 | grep signal
  $

Nothing...

Sorry, I have no idea what's going on here. I kind of doubt toybox is
responsible for any of this.
