On IRIX 6.5.5m I get the following error.  The header <standards.h> is
included by (nearly!) all of the standard headers.  It is the IRIX
equivalent of config.h if you will.

In order to preprocess this test on IRIX a system header such as
<stdio.h> must precede <netinet/tcp.h>.  The logical choice of header
to use is <netinet/in.h> as tcp.h is supplying values for levels
defined in in.h.

This is an IRIX bug but I think that we need to work around it.
