Argh!!!  This is a nightmare.  The attached hack ^h^h^h
patch fixes the problem, but ...

_SGIAPI needs to be defined (~192 in socketmodule.c) in
order to get the prototypes for inet_aton, inet_pton.  But
_SGIAPI can't be defined in the standard header files
because XOPEN_SOURCE is defined.

Martin, do you have any other suggestions?  I don't see how
to do this right within configure.  If you want I can send
you the header file(s).

I had the same problem compiling socket on Irix.
We did find that on our system ENABLE_IPV6 is not define and
all the error are cause by that.
  
System that do not enable IPV6 are not well supported with
the socketmodule.c code.
We were able to compile socket after making few change in
the code: 
I am not sure if I did it right but it compile.
I will post my patch but I do not see any place to attach my
file
example: See line 2794,2800

+ #ifdef ENABLE_IPV6
        char packed[MAX(sizeof(struct in_addr),
sizeof(struct in6_addr))];
+ #else
+       char packed[sizeof(struct in_addr)];
+ #endif

I am not sure how to post the patch or file.

This is not in my area of expertise, but I've tried a couple of 
(probably stupid) things:

#include <standards.h> in socketmodule.c instead of #define 
_SGIAPI.
This resulted in even more errors.

./configure --disable-ipv6
Same errors as before.

I am lost here. Sorry. But you still have ssh access to 
rattler.lbl.gov if that helps. Accounts for other Python developers 
are a possibility.

Can you analyse these compiler errors in more detail,
please? What, in your opinion, is causing these problems,
and how would you correct them?
