I get this error on both armv7l & i686 trying to run the configure script
on ChromeOS inside Chromebrew with GCC 11.2.
The configure script from curl 7.80.0 works.

checking if X/Open network library is required... no
checking for gethostbyname... no
checking for gethostbyname in -lnsl... no
checking for gethostbyname in -lsocket... no
checking for gethostbyname in -lwatt... no
checking for gethostbyname with both nsl and socket libs... no
checking for gethostbyname for Minix 3... no
checking for gethostbyname for eCos... no
checking for gethostbyname for AmigaOS bsdsocket.library... no
checking for gethostbyname in -lnetwork... no
checking for gethostbyname in -lnet... no
configure: error: couldn't find libraries for gethostbyname()

on x86_64 it succeeds though:
checking if X/Open network library is required... no
checking for gethostbyname... yes

on i686 and armv7l I see this in config.log from the 7.81.0 configure
script:
configure:21721: checking for gethostbyname
configure:21721: i686-cros-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest -O2 -pipe -flto
-ffat-lto-objects -fPIC -fuse-ld=gold -flto conftest.c >&5
/usr/local/libexec/gcc/i686-cros-linux-gnu/11/cc1: error while loading

configure:21721: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

configure:21721: result: no

on i686 I see this in config.log from the 7.80.0 configure script:
configure:21675: result: no
configure:21679: checking for gethostbyname
configure:21679: i686-cros-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest -O2 -pipe -flto
-ffat-lto-objects -fPIC -fuse-ld=gold -Werror-implicit-function-declaration
-Wno-system-headers -Wenum-conversion -flto conftest.c >&5
configure:21679: $? = 0
configure:21679: result: yes

Looks like some sort of LIBRARY_PATH issue in the 7.81.0 configure script?

FYI, autoreconf -fi also gives a broken configure script.

Thanks,
