Looks like getaddrinfo was found somewhere, but not the definition of
struct addrinfo. Could you see if you have struct addrinfo defined
somewhere?

We could try something like

AC_CACHE_CHECK([for getaddrinfo], ac_cv_func_getaddrinfo,
[AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include <netdb.h>],
                [struct addrinfo h;getaddrinfo("","",&h,&h);],
  ac_cv_func_getaddrinfo=yes, ac_cv_func_getaddrinfo=no)])
if test "$ac_cv_func_getaddrinfo" = yes; then
  AC_DEFINE(HAVE_GETADDRINFO,1,[Define if you have the getaddrinfo function])
fi

instead of using AC_CHECK_FUNCS perhaps. If you have struct addrinfo
defined somewhere, we should try to include that file, not sure how to
write the configure code though. struct addrinfo should be defined at
the same place as getaddrinfo, can it be that AC_CHECK_FUNCS finds
getaddrinfo in a file that isn't included, how to include that file?

Comments anyone?
