getaddrinfo is a macro in <netdb.h>:
#if defined (_SOCKADDR_LEN) || defined (_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED)
#define getaddrinfo ngetaddrinfo
#else
#define getaddrinfo ogetaddrinfo
#endif

The solution is to either revert to the 8.1.1 code (my recommendation)
or check for ngetaddrinfo. The latter is a crude hack though.

$ nm /usr/shlib/libc.so | grep getaddrinfo
__ngetaddrinfo | 0004395900636352 | T | 0000000000000008
__ogetaddrinfo | 0004395900637184 | T | 0000000000000008
ngetaddrinfo | 0004395900636352 | T | 0000000000000008
ogetaddrinfo | 0004395900637184 | T | 0000000000000008
