Oops, indeed.

I am using the ‘getaddrinfo’ module, otherwise I wouldn’t have emailed
you in the first place. ;-)

The full log is at 
<http://autobuild.josefsson.org/guile/log-201004150603901912000.txt>.

I think the problem is that ‘gl_HEADER_NETDB’ determines ‘NETDB_H=''’
because <netdb.h> is indeed available and it does define ‘struct
addrinfo’; it just happens to lack some of the AI_ macros.

Should ‘gl_HEADER_NETDB’ be augmented to explicitly check for missing
macros?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
