It should probably be indicated that this package does not build on
platforms without IPv6 support because it needs to know about AF_INET6.
(this is not the answer to the problem mentioned, of course)

on IRIX 5.3 it only generates a warning:

/usr/include/sys/types.h has the following line:

typedef long            pid_t;          /* proc & grp IDs  */

however, time.c has:

pid_t pid;                    /* Pid of child.  */

to work around this configure problem one can setenv
ac_cv_type_pid_t="yes" during configure.

also, it appears that the configure script used has some problems, similar
to the ones described here:
http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2000/msg02582.html

To work around them, one can setenv ac_cv_type_size_t="yes"
as CONFIGURE_ENV.

These are just workarounds, however. It would need further investigation
why the cofigure script fails.

.include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk"
.if ${OPSYS} == IRIX
CONFIGURE_ENV+=        ac_cv_type_pid_t="yes"
CONFIGURE_ENV+=        ac_cv_type_size_t="yes"
.endif

maybe something like this might be included.

works fine here.
