Yeah, it does, since -lbind is getting into the link.

I'm just about ready to start testing a fix that separately tests
HAVE_STRUCT_ADDRINFO (the struct decl) and HAVE_GETADDRINFO (the
function). If we don't find the struct, then we force HAVE_GETADDRINFO
off to use our own routines. Also, the header does

#undef getaddrinfo
#define getaddrinfo pg_getaddrinfo

(likewise for freeaddrinfo, gai_strerror) so that there's no conflict
if getaddrinfo() does exist somewhere in the libraries. Seem reasonable?
