compiling 8.2.2-P5 on AIX4.3.1

[Mark.Andrews at iengines.com]

	To have the error below HAS_INET6_STRUCTS was defined.

	in6addr_any is supposed to a symbol in the C (or other library)
	when the system supports IPv6.  The real question is
	why it isn't being found.

3 aix <marka> % nm /usr/lib/libc.a | grep in6addr_any 
in6addr_any          D     195592      16
4 aix <marka> % uname -a
AIX aix 3 4 00FFFFFF4C00
5 aix <marka> % 

	Mark
