I did "make -f Makefile.in distprep" - which should run autoreconf.

I don't think config.h is the problem here - it *has* HAVE_SOCKLEN_T (that
is: it properly #undef's it, as SCO 3 doesn't have it).  But nobody else
has an #ifndef HAVE_SOCKLEN_T - which should not be auto(re)conf related,
or is it?.

OK, retry...

 - autoreconf (no messages, no errors)
 - configure (no problems)
 - no socklen_t in config.h

Hmmm, I think it's an autoconf problem - while it doesn't throw any
warnings or errors, I still use autoconf 2.13 and remember that there have
been some problems with it.

Shouldn't autoreconf print some warning if the autoconf version is too
old?

It works fine, if I add the typdef (or define) manually.
