I don't know for sure, but I just noticed this :
-- netdb.h :
#ifdef __USE_MISC
...
extern struct hostent *gethostbyname2 (__const char *__name, int __af) __THROW;
...
#endif
If you put
#define __USE_MISC
above the include of netdb.h gcc/g++ 2.95 will work.
I don't know about this one, but I do recall some other situations
where changes in gcc 3.0 cause one version to work and the other to
"not" work, but really the problem is a programmer error wrt the
standards (one is more standards conforming than the other).
