RE: inet_aton configure test gets wrong result (ITS#1263)



Well, when I use the configure tool, it runs through a bunch of tests, one
of which is to see whether there is support for the inet_aton function.

I'm using a sun workstation, and while the compiler doesn't barf (not sure
why) - it's using gcc as the compiler, if you ever try to link the program,
it will then fail.

So, there's something odd about the fact that inet_aton isn'd causing a
problem for the compiler, but when the linker tries to resolve the
references, it doesn't find anything for it, and it fails only at that
point.

Does this help?

summary:

compiler doesn't complain.
linker complains.

It seems that perhaps the inet_aton test doesn't actually try linking, just
compiling.

Please provide details as to how inet_aton tests are failing.
