It *is* the standard... now.  The standard just happens to be
different from the original socket interface, and the fact that g++ has
-pedantic-errors on by default means that you can't write portable code.
(You can't even AC_CHECK_TYPE() since it's in <sys/scoket.h>, you'd have
to use AC_EGREP_HEADER() or AC_TRY_COMPILE()...).  I've found that the
easiest thing to do with ports is to just compile with -pedantic.
