 I'm not really clear on what combinations you tested.  But go ahead and
 commit what you have, and _please_ file a new PR for the getifaddrs(3)
 problems, and assign both PRs to me.  I will try to get everything to
 work, especially in a NOCOMPAT environment (with none of the compat code
 built-in).  It will take me some time to get a test environment set up.
