There's a fairly length test-program in the script.  I did notice that AIX
4.x failed the getaddrinfo() test (though it compiled).  Perhaps this is a
similar case.  You can probably extract that from the script and (using
the generated header in the current directory) compile it & see if you
get a similar result.

I was able to configure/compile on IRIX 6.5something (there was a lynx
coding error that I was debugging on that platform last night).  So
in principle it should work...
