Configure time problems, the configure script doesn't seem to want to
believe that ipv6 is available, from config.log:

configure:13196: checking working getaddrinfo
configure:13284: gcc -mabi=n32 -o conftest -I/usr/freeware/include -mabi=n32 -I/

configure:13235: error: `NI_NUMERICSERV' undeclared (first use in this function)
configure:13238: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

But a quick grep around shows:

~/lynx2-8-5# grep INET6_ADDRSTRLEN /usr/include/netinet/*   
/usr/include/netinet/in.h:#define INET6_ADDRSTRLEN        46

~/lynx2-8-5# grep AI_PASSIVE /usr/include/*
/usr/include/netdb.h:        int     ai_flags;       /* 
AI_PASSIVE,AI_CANONNAME,AI_NUMERICHOST,.. */
/usr/include/netdb.h:#define AI_PASSIVE      0x00000001 /* get address to use 
bind() */
~/lynx2-8-5# grep NI_NUMERICHOST /usr/include/*
/usr/include/netdb.h:#define NI_NUMERICHOST  0x00000002  /* return numeric form 
of hostname */

so as far as I can see, it should be ok, will do some more prodding 
tomorrow as it's quite possible I've missed soemthing obvious, but any
hints of things to try would be welcome.
