As Eli, I would like to know a few more details.
Is it possible to make c-ares return the 'native' socket numbers to not get in
conflict with gnulib ?

It was not my intention to replace all 'the good old' methods, as long as they
work. C-ares is just used for functionality that libc (and/or libresolv) does
not provide. Wget is still an official GNU tool and that implies that we try
to use as much GNU software/libraries/code as possible.
