On Solaris 11 with Wireshark 2.0.3 I'm getting (Wireshark 1.12 was ok):

checking for getaddrinfo... no
checking for getaddrinfo in -lnsl... no
checking for gethostbyname... no
checking for gethostbyname in -lnsl... yes
configure: error: Couldn't find any name resolvers!

Note that development version of Solaris where these functions are in libc
works:

checking for getaddrinfo... yes
checking whether to use the GeoIP IP address mapping library if available...
yes

Note also that getaddrinfo on S11 can be found in -lsocket:

$ nm /usr/lib/libsocket.so | grep getaddrinfo
[308]   |     24764|        33|FUNC |GLOB |0    |16     |__xnet_getaddrinfo
[53]    |     22856|      1854|FUNC |LOCL |0    |16     |_getaddrinfo
[148]   |     24720|        33|FUNC |GLOB |0    |16     |getaddrinfo
[52]    |         0|         0|FILE |LOCL |0    |ABS    |getaddrinfo.c


And finally note that if condition before:
  AC_MSG_ERROR(Couldn't find any name resolvers!)
should probably check also for ac_cv_lib_nsl_gethostbyname (and eventualy for
ac_cv_lib_socket_getaddrinfo=yes).
