Unable to make guile-1.3 (libguile)

[Scott Ostrander]

Hello, perhaps you can point me in the correct direction or tell me what
I'm doing wrong.

First try.

Linux version 2.4.5-ac8  gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)

... lots of "extra token" warnings ...

./guile-snarf -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../guile-1.3/libguile -I. -I.. -I../../guile-1.3/libguile/..   -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes ../../guile-1.3/libguile/net_db.c > net_db.x
In file included from ../../guile-1.3/libguile/_scm.h:66,
                 from ../../guile-1.3/libguile/net_db.c:51:

../../guile-1.3/libguile/net_db.c:76: conflicting types for `inet_aton'
/usr/include/arpa/inet.h:74: previous declaration of `inet_aton'
make[1]: *** [net_db.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gnucash/guile/libguile'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Try Two:

But I've been itching for a reason to rev gcc to 3.0, so I upgraded.  Oddly configure was no longer able to determine HOST.  Or course it's easy enough to work around

../guile-1.3/configure   --host=i386

But I get the same problem with net_db.c and 'inet_aton' .  I hope I'm not wasting your time on something completely bone headed.  Thank you.
