getnameinfo() call and fake-rfc2553.c

[santhi]

Hello All,

Im using OpenSSH 4.2p1. The getnameinfo() call in my system libc is broken
and as a result SSH fails saying getnameinfo failed:host nor service
provided.

Im thinking of using getnameinfo() call available from openbsd-compat
directory to get rid of this problem. As this is a production system, we
can't  make changes
without convincing  my syadmin and managers.

I understand that the purpose of openbsd-compat directory is to provide
missing libc calls for portable OpenSSH. In this regard I have the following
question for the list members.

I am trying to use fake-rfc2553.c as part of my compilation (by undefining
HAVE_GETNAMEINFO). Is my approach correct?

Thanks for the help,
Santhi.
