+Subject: [PATCH] deps: fix building with system c-ares on Linux
+
+The change in #39724 breaks building with system c-ares
+(`--shared-cares`):
+```
+In file included from ../src/cares_wrap.cc:25:
+../src/cares_wrap.h:25:11: fatal error: ares_nameser.h: No such file or
+directory
+   25 | # include <ares_nameser.h>
+      |           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+```
+
+Since `ares_nameser.h` isn't available with a default system c-ares
+installation, let's add back the include check and use the old
+`arpa/nameser.h` routine instead.
+
+Tested to build fine on Arch Linux with shared c-ares.
