Alright, I realize this was perhaps a little unclear. What I'm trying to achieve is actually quite simple: - to replace the normal getaddrinfo() routine from the default glibc libary with my own version. My "own" version just happens to be 2000 lines of getaddrinfo from the ubuntu glibc which was patched to fix the RFC3484 problem. I'm just not very keen on working my way through the 2000 lines and fixing things such that it will compile outside of the complete glibc tree.
