The second parameter to getaddrinfo() could be the problem.  Documentation
says it is either a service name or a port number.  54321 is not one of
the standard ports - perhaps the function cares about that.  One of the
pages I'm looking at uses "http" as an example.  That would be fine for
lynx - can you tweak the configure script and test that?
