The network interface (getaddrinfo and friends) has the same problem
on Tru64. IMHO, autoconf should allow to include a header in test
testing program. My workaround:
dnl Some Unices like Tru64 or Mac OS X has getaddrinfo() or
dnl getnameinfo() but has it renamed in libc as something else so we
dnl must include <netdb.h> to get the redefinition. (Stolen from rsync)
dnl autoconf AC_CHECK_FUNCS does not allow headers to be easily included :-(
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(getaddrinfo getnameinfo inet_ntop, ,
[AC_MSG_CHECKING([$ac_func again by including <netdb.h>])
AC_TRY_LINK([#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netdb.h>],[$ac_func(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);],
[AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])],
[AC_MSG_ERROR([Missing mandatory function - echoping now uses the new network functions (RFC 2133) which are mandatory for IPv6])]
)])
