I'm missing the NI_MAXHOST and NI_MAXSERV there because of this:
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/resolv/netdb.h.diff?r1=1.47...
Well, this change only exposes a portability issue, having lurked in
glibc.

What do you think is the correct solution?
Add a check to configure whether we
need _GNU_SOURCE to get these constants?
This would be one approach to work-around
this issue inside of a package.
Setting _GNU_SOURCE in a public header would be a mistake.
