Sorry to follow up my own post, but as no one answered, I am attaching my own
proposed fix. If this looks ok, let me know.

Subject: Not sure how to fix this bug
In connman 1.33 I have come up with an interesting scenario, and am not sure
how to fix it. The easiest way to duplicate it is to plug my wired connection
into a switch that is turned on, but does -not- have the uplink cable plugged
in. After the DHCP request fails, there is some (random?) address assigned
(169.254.x.x). At that point the uplink cable on the switch is plugged in.
When a DHCP solicitation is sent again, and an answer is received, connman gets
the information, but does not send the new nameserver information. Attached is
a copy of the debug log I have, and at about line 149 you see where the
nameservers are saved. But after that, they are all used internally, but my
application does not get a PropertyChanged signal indicating the change.
It seems to me it would be a quick fix but I'm not sure where is the best place
to do it.
Thank you for your help
Tom

Hey Patrik
Sorry for a delayed reply. Thanks for all the pointers. I have started
working on this. This is what I was planning to do:
In configure.ac look for --host (configure option) containing android or
not. If it is containing android we know we are going to use bionic and we
can make some variable true (like HAVE_BIONIC = true) and that can go into
config.h and we can use that as a pre-processor directive to distinguish
the code.
Is this in line with your thought process?
Regards

Something like this: (it may not be syntactically correct)
with_android=no
AC_MSG_CHECKING([checking for android])
case "${host}" in
*android*)
with_android=yes
;;
*)
AM_CONDITIONAL([BIONIC], [test "${with_android}" = "yes"])
