summary of the changes

• removes the outdated gnu automake/autoconf stuff, replaces it with a single, simple makefile
• fixed getnameinfo, which was using a wrong prototype (it used the bugged prototype from glibc < 2.14)
• compiles with musl libc as well as glibc now. possibly it now works even on mac
• make main.c work, because the proxychains bash script cannot be used with gdb
• fix all occurences of int where either socklen_t is expected or an unsigned int, because the number cant be negative
• added gethostbyaddr hook code
• fixed a nasty bug detected by gcc's -Wall -Wextra switches (assignment in while condition without surrounding braces)

you may also want to take a look at https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains/commits/remote-dns

in this branch, i have entirely eliminated the need for the crappy dnsresolver script.

the dns resolving is done on the server side, using socksv4a and socksv5 dns methods, and http should support it as well.

the big advantages are:

• the identity cannot be leaked anymore through a wrongly set up dig command (i.e. statically linked).
• it's much faster because the startup of an external script and dns resolving via TCP is quite slow.
• no external dependencies.
• it now even works with .onion domains

plain SOCKS4 won't work anymore with DNS resolution (only with numeric ips passed to the program), but i'm not aware of any socksv4 only socksserver in common use. and if there are some, it's about time to get them fixed to support the simple v4a extension.

Wow, the remote-dns is really a great work. I was think about it, but had no idea how to implement. Thanks for it, rofl0r.
