AC_DEFUN([AC_FUNC_ACCEPT_ARGTYPES],
[AC_MSG_CHECKING([types of arguments for accept()])
AC_CACHE_VAL(ac_cv_func_accept_return,dnl
[AC_CACHE_VAL(ac_cv_func_accept_arg1,dnl
[AC_CACHE_VAL(ac_cv_func_accept_arg2,dnl
[AC_CACHE_VAL(ac_cv_func_accept_arg3,dnl
[for ac_cv_func_accept_return in 'INT_PTR WSAAPI' 'int' 'unsigned
int PASCAL' ; do
for ac_cv_func_accept_arg1 in '__int64' 'int' 'unsigned int' ; do

sockaddr *' 'void *'; do
for ac_cv_func_accept_arg3 in 'int' 'size_t' 'socklen_t'
'unsigned int' 'void'; do

The above combinition does not pass, another question,

Because I just want to build the client side of PostgreSQL, can I
ignore this error and let the configure pass
