Thanks.

I have fixed this by not using the pth version of the library in the
test.

Thanks for explaining.  Can you cut out the part from config.log where
this happens.  Maybe I can find a way to work around it.

There are now replacements for this.

But unfortunately not for this.  Need to check stevens how it worked
with odler systems.

Not yet fixed.

Should work now However without descripot passing. It is not yet used
by gnupg and that should no pose any problem.  We will use descriptor
passing merely for performance acceleration.

Might work now as the required libs are now passed to ld.

Interesting. The code to check socklen_t is from gnulib and thus
should be tests, but well, there must be something wrong.
