I doubt this since AFAICT configure doesnt make any tests over the
network ...
but: this test is by far really the slowest of all configure tests;
I've just tested on an older box (old Cygwin on W2K3r2, P4 2.8GHz 2GB
RAM) and this test took over 180 seconds; the whole configure run took:

time ./configure
[snip]
real 22m27.235s
user 0m46.476s
sys 2m41.462s

then I just tested on a more modern box (recent SuSE Linux, AMD Phenom
II X4 965 8GB RAM) and even there this test took ~20 seconds where all
other tests took only fracts of seconds - so here the recvfrom test took
~35% of the whole time configure needed:

time ./configure
[snip]
real 0m58.441s
user 0m26.424s
sys 0m24.257s

Gün.
