 Have you checked config.log? Maybe the order of the checks is important.
 I've been using the following for ages, and it continues to work on
 Solaris 9:

AC_CHECK_FUNCS(gethostbyname,,[AC_CHECK_LIB(nsl,gethostbyname,,[AC_CHECK_LIB(socket,gethostbyname)])])
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(setsockopt,,[AC_CHECK_LIB(socket,setsockopt)])
