OK, applied to HEAD and 8.1.  I'm feeling a bit of concern though after
re-reading the comment attached to the test:

# (Note: the AC_TRY_LINK probe fails on Windows, where the available
# versions of getaddrinfo don't follow normal C call protocol.  This is OK
# because we want to use our own getaddrinfo.c on Windows anyway.)

It seems likely that the new coding will allow the test to *succeed* on
Windows.  Does that happen, and if so is it bad?  We can put in a hack
to suppress the test on Windows if necessary.  Someone please check it
out on Windows ...
