(1) On Linux, we really need to trust the configure script to select
the right variant of gethostbyname_r for us, since not all Linuxes are equal in this respect. Reported by Laurent Pointal. (2) On BeOS, Chris Herborth reports that instead of arpa/inet.h you must include net/netdb.h to get the inet_ntoa() and inet_addr() prototypes.
