There's a configure test for inet_aton, which does the right thing on this
sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1/gcc 2.8.1 (which doesn't have it either). Perhaps
remove the config.cache before reconfiguring? *shrug*

No kidding. I don't get this problem but the regression tests occasionally
fail with broken pipe messages, but everything goes fine when I use TCP/IP
explicitly (-h option to psql). I don't know much more about it either
though.

Besides the Unix socket issue this platform works and all the regression
tests pass.
