[PHP-DEV] Patch to configure.in for IRIX 6.5 From: Albert Chin-A-Young (china <email protected>)
Date: 07/29/99

Before checking gethostname() against -lnsl, it should be checked
without it as it might be in -lc. The patch below fixes this. I've
also changed gethostname to gethostent per the following in GNU tar
1.13:

# Whenever both -lsocket and -lnsl are needed, it seems to be always the
# case that gethostbyname requires -lnsl. So, check -lnsl first, for it
# to be in LIBS before the setsockopt checks are performed. *However*,
# on SINIX-N 5.43, this is false, and gethostent seems to be a better
# candidate. So, let's use it below instead of gethostbyname, and see.

On IRIX 6.5, -lnsl gives lots of:
        ld32: WARNING 134: weak definition of [blah] in \
        /usr/lib32/libnsl.so preempts that weak definition \
        in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so

After enough of these, the linker stops. It's easy to turn these
warnings off but I think the patch below is a better fix.
