Description Garry Filakhtov 2019-06-18 09:06:04 UTC

All versions nodejs 8.16 and above depend on c-ares library and --shared-cares flag is given to the configure script. Would be great to have a flag, similar to the cURL's "adns" flag to not use shared library and use bundled code instead.

And we don’t want to use bundled libs. Why would we?
