Hi Alastair,
In the latest archive rebuilds for Ubuntu Intrepid, slang2 fails to build
because it expects to resolve an 'h_addr' member of 'struct hostent'. With
glibc 2.8, this is no longer available by default, but only when defining
_GNU_SOURCE.
The attached patch fixes the build failure, and I believe it's correct for
older versions of glibc as well, since h_addr_list is the standard interface
and h_addr should only be used when there's some indication we're on a
system that doesn't support the current standard.
Thought you might like to have this patch in advance, even though Debian
isn't moving to glibc 2.8 for lenny.
Cheers,
