At runtime you need the dynamic libraries related to name services in order to get name services working (like DNS requests on http connections, if you use host names in the urls). > Isn't it strange, or I misunderstood the warning?

It is just to avoid surprises to you, if you don't have compatible name services dynamic libraries in the system where you will run fossil. Name resolution will not work in that case.
