compiling 8.4.7 Solaris 7

	Just remove that code block.  It's only there for backwards
	compatibity with Sun's libresolv.

	For future reference.  People running ancient OS's should
	atleast test compile at the beta stage.  We don't have the
	resources to run a instance of ever possible OS named
	theoretically runs on.
