I wanted to write a unit test for ./src/lib/ares_strsplit.c to show a
bug that I wrote a patch for. I tried to enter the following in
./test/ares-test-internal.cc:

  #include "ares_strsplit.h"
  TEST_F(LibraryTest, Strsplit) {
    size_t n;
    char **p = ares_strsplit("example.com, example.co", ", ", 1, &n);
    EXPECT_EQ(n, 2);
    ares_strsplit_free(p, n);
  }

Then I use mkdir build && ./buildconf && cd build && ../configure &&
make.  However when I compile the project, I get an 'undefined
reference' linker error on ares_strsplit.
