In mingw (I'm not sure how it would be with native headers), the
<ws2tcpip.h> header has an inline definition of gai_strerrorA and
gai_strerrorW, then does #define gai_strerror gai_strerrorA (or W).
That is, I don't think you can link against gai_strerror, which is why
the m4 file uses AC_CHECK_DECLS rather than AC_REPLACE_FUNC.

Prior to this thread, not on mingw - we were using the Windows version
as-is.
