errorcodes.c assumes that if you have getaddrinfo() you have
gai_strerror().
#if defined(HAVE_GETADDRINFO)
statcode -= APR_OS_START_EAIERR;
#if defined(NEGATIVE_EAI)
statcode = -statcode;
#endif
return stuffbuffer(buf, bufsize, gai_strerror(statcode));
#else
return stuffbuffer(buf, bufsize, "APR does not understand this
error code");
#endif
Can you verify that getaddrinfo() exists and that
HAVE_GETADDRINFO is defined in
srclib/apr/include/private/arch/unix/apr_private.h pretty please?
(I assume it is there, but I just want to double-check.)
We already do some sanity-checking of getaddrinfo() before deciding to
use it. Probably we need to not consider that getaddrinfo() is usable
if there is no gai_strerror(). If you can verify that you really have
getaddrinfo() I'll work up a patch for you to test out.

The only environment APR won't support is the environment that has no
crusader (well, pretty much).
