Wow...

Thanks so much for the wealth of information, Dave. Perhaps it doesn't 
seem so complex to you, but on my side of the equation, you've really 
turned a light on for stuff I've never taken the time to wrap my head 
around (and of course, one of the dangers of doing this under Linux 
regularly, and not on other platforms, is that when things "just work," 
one tends to disregard the "why" and the "how").

I noticed during configure that gethostbyname initially barfed, then 
later seemed to indicate that it was okay (of course, this was during 
configure, and not while linking). I hadn't gotten that far into the 
process to see it actually fail. I was encouraged with the config option 
--disable-ipv6, as I ran across that some time ago with another project, 
and had to stub around all of the ipv6 stuff manually, which was a chore.

I'm also encouraged from a cpability standpoint by your comment that 
this is definitely not a simple port. At least I don't feel like such a 
dunce (for the moment). ;-)

I'll give this another look over the weekend, and perhaps clean up the 
two gcc installations I currently have, if only to head off potential 
conflicts.

Thanks again for all of your time and excellent insight. Cheers, and 
Happy 2012.
