On IRIX 6.5, the test-getaddrinfo fails like this: Finding www.ibm.com service https... res -2: Name or service not known FAIL: test-getaddrinfo
Since there is already code to ignore a failure on Solaris, the same failure on IRIX (with a more POSIX compliant error code!) should be ignored as well. I'm applying this: 2008-04-11 Bruno Haible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * tests/test-getaddrinfo.c (simple): Ignore EAI_NONAME error. *** tests/test-getaddrinfo.c.orig 2008-04-12 02:29:54.000000000 +0200 --- tests/test-getaddrinfo.c 2008-04-12 02:26:40.000000000 +0200 *************** *** 54,59 **** --- 54,63 ---- if (res != 0) { + /* IRIX reports EAI_NONAME for "https".

Don't fail the test merely because of this. */ if (res == EAI_SERVICE)
