Hi Volker,

Thanks for the report.

Hmmmm!  Yes, sorry for overlooking this part of your patch.  After
thinking for a while about it I agree with you.  I modified your patch
to add a comment.

I'll look at this when I'm back on the internet.

If your target does not have e.g. struct addrinfo, because it does not
have IPv6, then you need to configure with
ac_cv_type_struct_addrinfo=no.  Check your config.log.  Or should this
be working somehow?

There are other ac_cv_* for getaddrinfo and other routines.

Happy hacking,

Andy
