That's a bug in XFree86. Modules that call "inet_addr" are supposed
to include several headers. From the man page:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
The modules that are getting these undefined symbols are failing to
include <arpa/inet.h>. If you have time, please make a list of them
(from the linker error messages) and/or make a patch.
Thanks,
John
