Re: BUG in GNU autoconf (WineX)

[Akim Demaille]

| Hello,
| I have attached the logs of the run of GNU autoconf
| in Transgaming WineX CVS 2003-03-29, within the MirBSD
| ports tree.
| 
| MirBSD is quasi OpenBSD/i386 on ELF instead of a.out.
| 
| Note: I had to fix another bug
|  - "checking for GNU-style IPX support"
| This uses <sys/socket.h> but that can only succeed if
| <sys/param.h> is included:

Thanks for the detailed analysis!  It is just slightly unclear to me
when param.h is required.  Is it required for sys/socket.h?  What is
the smallest set of #include to have sys/socket.h compile?  Thanks a
lot!
