This is what M4 macros in gnulib generally use, is it ok? dnl Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. dnl This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation dnl gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, dnl with or without modifications, as long as this notice is preserved. > BTW, having socklen_t doesn't mean it's used by some of the networking > functions.

I don't think the proposed solution was good, I want to use "socklen_t" in my code. I think we should try hard to make that possible. I don't want to make my code unreadable to cater to broken platforms. However, adapting your M4 code first would solve to problem on several platforms, and we can return to the HP-UX problem later. I haven't encountered that problem on HP-UX myself, so perhaps it doesn't always happen.
