OK, understood.

This is one of those things that pisses me off with autoconf.  It detects
the presence of the function in a library but there's no good way
to detect how to enable the corresponding declaration is visible in the
header file... grumble ...

libESMTP's config.h defines the symbol _POSIX_C_SOURCE to 199506L during strict
compiles.  If I revise this, will it bring in the Posix 1003.1g functions and
structures (i.e. getaddrinfo() et al.)?  I feel this is the "correct" solution.

Alternatively, try ./configure --disable-isoc and see if that produces a clean
build out-of-the-box.

Cheers,
Brian
