Sounds like the discussion should be taken there. It 
would be interesting to know how many of the Fedora
build failures are from this change. Matt, would you
mind grepping for "error: 'NI_MAXHOST' undeclared" ?

The alpine build failure is here:
http://linux.dell.com/files/fedora/FixBuildRequires/mock-results-core/i386/alpine-1.00-2.fc9.src.rpm/result/build.log

The important lines are:
ip_unix.c: In function 'ip_sockaddrtostring':
ip_unix.c:81: error: 'NI_MAXHOST' undeclared (first use in this
function)
ip_unix.c:81: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ip_unix.c:81: error: for each function it appears in.)

Please note that alpine (nee pine) is ported to an extremely
wide variety of platforms, so it is probably a good test case
of real-world portable vs theoretical standard
