Hi Jörg,  yea unfortunately, a lot of programmers are not concerned with 
portability or even Solaris as a compile target anymore.  The project in 
question is dnsmasq.  I'm working on porting it to compile on Solaris 
10. I haven't contacted the maintainer yet but when I get it done I will 
send them a patch.  In the mean time could someone give an URL to where 
I could find source code to getifaddrs.c?  googling around I found this 
post http://markmail.org/message/t74kvl63savhzrzp but I would prefer to 
find it in the illumos/openindiana source.

Thanks,
