gnulib may have done some discovery of them. Do any of the variables in
config.log contains -lsocket -lnsl? If yes we could reuse it. I'd have
expected LIBSOCKET to contain that.

I don't see why that warning is there. The prototype I have has
"unsigned int", and in the code "type" is defined as unsigned. Is that
from gnutls master? Could you quote the function and the prototype you
have?

Thanks. I've fixed the prototype instead. Casting functions is pretty
dangerous.
