cvs-1.12.13 autoconf doesn't verify typedef socklen_t ?

[Adrian Pepper]

I can't find a typedef for socklen_t anywhere in our, ahem, Solaris 2.6
system include files.

Other conversation from Conrad@Pino.com suggests "typedef size_t socklen_t"
is appropriate, while examination of header files under Solaris 8 suggests
either that or "typedef uint32_t socklen_t;" is appropriate,
depending upon other configuration information.  On Solaris 6, I believe
those are the same.

Should the autoconf be modified to check for socklen_t and create an
appropriate ifdef to create an appropriate default typedef if none
is present?

socklen_t appears to be referenced only by:
cvs-1.12.13/lib/getaddrinfo.h

I see the following does contain a definition...
cvs-1.12.13/windows-NT/sys/socket.h
Well, I guess that's because it's a sys/socket.h replacement for that
architecture.
