The configure process assumes that any platform that supplies
getaddrinfo() will also supply gai_strerror().  Is that not true
in your version of glibc?  If not, one possible workaround is to
force use of our own getaddrinfo replacement (#undef HAVE_GETADDRINFO
and add getaddrinfo.o to LIBOBJS).

Probably the easiest way around the peercred problem is just to disable
that chunk of code ("#elif defined(SO_PEERCRED)" to "#elif 0" at line
1409 of hba.c will probably do it).  You may need to dike out the
corresponding code in client-side libpq as well.
