OK, applied to HEAD and 8.1. I'm feeling a bit of concern though after
re-reading the comment attached to the test:
# (Note: the AC_TRY_LINK probe fails on Windows, where the available
# versions of getaddrinfo don't follow normal C call protocol. This is OK
# because we want to use our own getaddrinfo.c on Windows anyway.)
It seems likely that the new coding will allow the test to *succeed* on
Windows. Does that happen, and if so is it bad? We can put in a hack
to suppress the test on Windows if necessary. Someone please check it
out on Windows ...
