They have never been implemented in Cygwin itself. Cygwin only has a
piece of source called minires, a simple resolver lib depending on
the underlying Windows resolver, providing the res_FOO symbols from
resolv.h.  The nameserver symbols from nameser.h are not part of the
Cywin core lib.  Maybe you have more luck with the (unmaintained)
bind libs?
