I don't think anoncvs lags behind developer cvs for gnome.org, but I'm not 
sure. If in doubt check the ChangeLog.

./configure should be printing something like this:

checking for struct sockaddr_storage... yes
checking for struct sockaddr_storage family field... ss_family

On your system, the result should be __ss_family of course.

If the check runs, but detects the wrong thing, could you post the relevant 
snippets from config.log (grep for 'checking for struct sockaddr_storage')?
