+On a related note, if you see a bunch of complaints like the above about
+reentrant functions - specifically networking-related ones - being present
+but without prototypes available, check to see if BIND 8.1 (or possibly
+other BIND 8 versions) is (or has been) installed. They install
+header files such as netdb.h into places such as /usr/local/include (or into
+another directory as specified at build/install time), at least optionally.
+Remove them or put them in someplace that isn't in the C preprocessor's 
+header file include search path (determined by -I options plus defaults,
+normally /usr/include).
