Hrm.  That's issetugid().  `It's implemented in -current....'

This is definitely a problem; this means __inet_ntoa() is not in the 2.x
libs, preventing you from running the server on those libs.  So looks like
you'll have to (1) find out if there are newer 2.x libs they actually linked
against, or (2) try to use 3.0 libs after the following diff has been
applied to src/sys/compat/freebsd (which backports the issetugid() changes).

Note that I have submitted requests to get the issetugid() syscall and the
madvise() change into 1.3.3.
