Hi Jim!  No, I don't.

I removed the check.

Mingw32 doesn't have sys/socket.h, but gnulib doesn't support it
anyway, so I removed the check.  The proper fix on mingw32 would be to
supply, in a gnulib module, some working sys/socket.h files.

What about netdb.h then?  Is there any system that lack it?

I'm leaving the tests in getaddrinfo.m4 for a while, so that more
debug information end up in config.log.

Thanks,
Simon
