Subject: accept4 detection on illumos needs -lsocket -lnsl
Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2019 14:18:10 +0200

Hello,

GNU Guile 2.2.5 build fails because accept4 detection on OpenIndiana 
2019.04 (illumos distribution) [1] fails due to "-lsocket -lnsl" not 
being part of the linking process and the build system then tries to 
build it's vendored accept4:

   CC       accept4.lo

                  from ./sys/time.h:39,

                  from ./sys/select.h:36,
                  from /usr/include/sys/types.h:640,
                  from ./sys/types.h:28,
                  from ./sys/socket.h:51,
                  from accept4.c:20:

  extern int accept4(int, struct sockaddr *_RESTRICT_KYWD, Psocklen_t,

This is fixed by LIBS="-lsocket -lnsl" in the build environment.

This was in the past reported both on the guile-user [2] and 
openindiana-discuss [3] mailing lists, where you also can see the build 
error in full.

Thanks,
Michal
