AC 2.59 incompatibility in getaddrinfo.h (was Re: canon-host errors)

[Derek Price]

Is there any reason I can't just assume gl_GETADDRINFO ran and config.h
was included before getaddrinfo.h?  The following test is always coming
up false on platforms without getaddrinfo (as of AC 2.59, at least,
AC_CHECK_FUNCS via AC_REPLACE_FUNCS leaves HAVE_GETADDRINFO undefined
when it is not found):

# if defined HAVE_GETADDRINFO && !HAVE_GETADDRINFO

[...decl struct addrinfo & many macros...]

# endif


The possible fixes are fixing gl_GETADDRINFO to "#define
HAVE_GETADDRINFO 0" when getaddrinfo isn't found or shortening the above
test to: "# if !HAVE_GETADDRINFO", and I'd rather just simplify the
header unless there is good reason to leave it as is, especially as
other naive code with GNULIB installed may be already using "#ifdef
HAVE_GETADDRINFO" somewhere.

Regards,

Derek
