ACK 4783115fd4cccb46a7f8c592b34fa7c094c29410, I have reviewed the code and it looks OK, I agree it can be merged.

Did not test it on Illumos/SmartOS.

The ./configure output diff:

 checking sys/resources.h presence... no
 checking for sys/resources.h... no
 checking whether getifaddrs is declared... yes
+checking whether ifaddrs funcs can be used without link library... yes
 checking whether freeifaddrs is declared... yes
+checking whether ifaddrs funcs can be used without link library... yes
 checking whether strnlen is declared... yes
 checking whether fork is declared... yes
 checking whether setsid is declared... yes

It seems we could have -lsocket twice in the LIBS :)
