Configure warning with curl-7.10.3

[John Tobin]

When configuring curl-7.10.3 on a solaris 8 system mostly up to date with
patches, using gcc 3.2 from www.sunfreeware.com, I get the following warning:

checking net/if.h usability... no
checking net/if.h presence... yes

The error messages from config.log are:

gcc -v gives:
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.2/specs
Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as 
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --disable-nls
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2


Compilation succeeded, and it appears to be working without a problem.
I still have the configure logs, config.h etc if they're any help.
