Ok, I rebuilt it with --disable-shared and ran it in the debugger. The
problem is that getnameinfo() is failing with a return of 3, which means
invalid argument. After poking around I found that if I unset the
NI_WITHSCOPEID bit in the flags argument it works, and all tests pass.

This doesn't make sense to me because NI_WITHSCOPEID is defined in
netdb.h. Anyone here have a clue about this? This is Solaris 9 (Intel)
with gcc 3.3.2 (from sunfreeware.com).
