With respect to the compile errors, this is what I have found:
1) The configure process appears to pick up on the fact that Tru64 does have getnameinfo(), but not getaddrinfo(). The problem is that if one is found and the other is not, the definitions for both are included in lib/gai.h. Well, getnameinfo() on Tru64 has a slightly different definition and produces a conflict that the compiler can't resolve. The solution was to modify gai.h and wrap the getaddrinfo() related routines with "#ifndef HAVE_GETADDRINFO/#endif" macros, and wrap the getnameinfo() with similar HAVE_GETNAMEINFO macros.
Please bugzilla this and hopefully we can come up with a better configure system for it.
As you are already aware, this has been opened in buzilla and a suggested patch has been provided. I can confirm that the patch works great and I recommend it to be used... getaddrinfo() is now being properly detected in Tru64 and gets used.
I still run into a problem with gai.h where getnameinfo() for Tru64 is different than what the prototype in that header file describes... as a result, the compilation process halts with a fatal error. I wrapped the getnameinfo() prototypes with #ifndef HAVE_GETNAMEINFO/#endif, and wrapped the getaddrinfo() and freeaddrinfo() prototypes with a HAVE_GETADDRINFO like block. I will provide that in a patch in the next mailing.
