It's a Linux system with libc5.

during configure:

checking sys/un.h usability... no
checking sys/un.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: sys/un.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: sys/un.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: sys/un.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
...
checking for struct sockaddr_un... no

With a newer autoconf this turns into:

checking sys/un.h usability... no
checking sys/un.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: sys/un.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: sys/un.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: sys/un.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to bug-autoconf(at)gnu(dot)org(dot) ##
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##
checking for sys/un.h... yes

I did report it to them, and they told me to fix the
configure.in.

It compiles fine, runs fine.

It just then has a problem with the regression test because there
it checks the OS to decide if it has unix domain sockets or not.
Manualy fixing the script fixes that problem. (I think it's
somewhere in the TODO to fix this.)
