RE: Compile error on SCO Port (ITS#2373)

[Clyde.McPherson@DigitalNet.com]

In my version of SCO OSR 5.0.4 I cannot find a reference for h_errno in any include file, that is the only reason why I added a bald h_errno. The only reference to h_errno is in netdb.h and is a comment: 

"/*

 * Error return codes from gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() (left in

 * extern int h_errno).

 */"

The h_errno variable is a required definition in the /usr/include/netdb.h

header file. If it's not present there on SCO, please tell us what header

file actually does declare it. Adding a bald h_errno definition to our own

files will break portability with 99% of other platforms.
