kdelibs/kdecore does not currently compile on my platform, but I am
not sure of the best way to fix it as it involves Makefile and network
lib issues.  I have been playing around a bit but I don't think anyone
will accept the kind of patches I'm coming up with.  :)

Any suggestions on the best way to approach this?  Explicitly defining
HAVE_BROKEN_GETADDRINFO only causes conflicts when netsupp.cpp is
compiled.  Also, and this seems relevant, the Makefile stuff says:
"Don't check for getnameinfo and freeaddrinfo. If getaddrinfo is
there, so are those two."  While I do have getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo,
I can't seem to find getnameinfo.

I'm running Debian/Slink which has libc-2.0.7.so.  So far KDE has
compiled and worked fine on this platform.

Okay, so the first level compile error:

In file included from kextsock.cpp:54:

Fixed this by explicitly defining missing NI_*:

.libs/kextsock.o(.text+0x2034): undefined reference to `getnameinfo'
