HPUX 10.20:
----------
I bumped into this earlier - under HPUX 10.20 and I 'fixed' the problem
by adding -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED. This is not defined it seems
using -Ae compiler flag (which does define _XOPEN_SOURCE)
The reason, quite obviously, is this code frag in /usr/include/netdb.h:
/*
* Error return codes from gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr()
* (left in extern int h_errno).
*/
#ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
extern int h_errno;
#endif
HPUX 11.00
----------
A brief glance suggests it may be different - but I haven't had a chance
yet to look into it properly. I will report back when I do.
