NOOOOO!  *cry*  *scream!*

/etc/resolv.conf (note spelling) is a NETWORK configuration file used for
RESOLVING domain names by specifying domain paths, name servers and
resolution orders, and has absolutely *NOTHING* to do with include files or
compiling.

That is correct.   However, there's a problem before this.  The preprocessor
gets an option it doesn't understand.  To me it looks like it may be calling
"cpp" instead of "m68k-palmos-cpp".
I also remember from building the Palm gcc development kit myself, that
there were a couple of directories that had to be symlinked into the main
gcc build directory to avoid some errors and warnings.  And - you MUST get
the exact correct version of all the different tools - newer versions will
not work.
