If you are building in a tree separate from the source tree, the vendors version of make does not work properly with regards to `VPATH'. It also has problems with standard inference rules in 5.2 (not tested yet in 5.3) so one needs to use GNU's make.
Under 5.2, there is a bug in the optional System V -lsocket
library in which the routine gethostbyname()
is broken. The
system supplied version in -lc
appears to work though so one may
simply specify --with-netlib
option to `configure'.
In 5.3, gethostbyname()
is no longer present in -lsocket
and
is no longer an issue.
