I don't think that's a good fix --- those are different symbols with
different purposes (and even different values, on other platforms).

Looking at src/include/getaddrinfo.h, it seems we assume we need to
supply definitions of AI_NUMERICHOST and NI_NUMERICHOST if and only
if not HAVE_STRUCT_ADDRINFO. That's probably a bogus assumption.
Can you tell us what configure found for HAVE_STRUCT_ADDRINFO and
HAVE_GETADDRINFO? Also, which of the macros defined in that file
exist in your system headers?
