return a structure pointer. Check whether the C compiler can handle
inline functions that return a structure pointer, not whether they can
handle inline functions that return an int, as at least some versions of
autoconf's AC_C_INLINE do.
"getifaddrs()"), after processing the list returned by SIOCGIFCONF, scan
"/proc/net/dev" for interface names, and add to the list of interfaces
entries for those interfaces, with no associated addresses (if the
interfaces were already added, with addresses, from the list returned by
SIOCGIFCONF, they won't get added again).
Clean up the error handling a bit.
whether we have "freeifaddrs()" (we don't check whether we have
"getifaddrs()", and if we have "getifaddrs()" but not "freeifaddrs()",
we're stuck with leaking memory).
Give the "any" device an instance number of INT_MAX, so it shows up
after all other non-loopback devices.
"getifaddrs()" sometimes appears to supply a destination address even
for non-point-to-point interfaces (it did so on a FreeBSD 4.1 system);
don't use the broadcast address it supplies if an interface isn't a
broadcast interface, and don't use the destination address it supplies
if an interface isn't a point-to-point interface.
If we had an error constructing the list of interfaces, don't attempt to
add the "any" device to the list.

The Itanium does not like unaligned memory accesses (the Linux kernel
warns about them and probably performance suffers). Therefore I added
the cpu to the list of systems where unaligned access should be avoided.

SOL_PACKET/PACKET_STATISTICS "getsockopt()" call, on Linux kernels that
support it, to get packet statistics, so that we can report the number
of dropped packets, and always use <linux/if_packet.h> to get
definitions for PF_PACKET sockets, so that we don't depend on glibc's
header files having been updated to support all the latest shiniest
kernel features (many systems with 2.4[.x] kernels don't have a
<netpacket/packet.h> that defines "struct tpacket_stats", for example,
so we wouldn't have been able to support that kernel feature on those
systems).
when compiling on Linux, as we extracted from those copies the
definitions and declarations we need in order to dissect packets, and
put them into our own header files in the regular source directory.
names, e.g. "alphaev56", rather than just "alpha", so, in
"AC_LBL_UNALIGNED_ACCESS", we should check for "alpha*", rather than
"alpha", in our test for platforms we *know* shouldn't do unaligned
accesses (Digital^H^H^H^H^H^H^HTru64 UNIX, by default, may just catch
the alignment trap, complain on the console, and then simulate the
unaligned access, but that's slow - and, in one test, didn't appear to
prevent all the faults from unaligned accesses).
