Compiling and bind():ing on AIX 5.1

[anonymous]

First off, let me explain the priority; i selected major since the changes will take about ~5 min to fix, since I've solved them already.

I've just compiled bitlbee on AIX 5.1. My first problem was related to linking the binary, but it was solved by adding the -brtl flag to the linker, so i would like to suggest this is added in the distribution. I'm not familiar with automake/autoconf so i just edited the Makefile and added -Wl,-brtl in the "$(OUTFILE): $(objects) $(subdirs)"-section.

After this, i couldn't bind() to an specific interface. 0.0.0.0 worked out fine with no trouble, but i wanted to bind() to localhost. I solved this in bitlbee.c by adding the line:

memset(&(listen_addr.sin_zero), '\0', 8);

after:

listen_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr( global.conf->iface );

..and things work great.

Just add these things and AIXers will be happy :)

I think Jelmer's getaddrinfo() change will have the same effect.

(Bah, fucking spammers ate some backlog here.)
