Summary: Python-2.3.3c1, Solaris 2.7: socketmodule does not compile

Initial Comment:
Compiling Python-2.3.3c1 on Solaris 2.7 with gcc 2.95.3
gave me two errors:

socketmodule.c:2975: `AF_INET6' undeclared (first use
in this function)

socketmodule.c:3019: `INET_ADDRSTRLEN' undeclared
(first use in this function)

The first problem was already reported for Solaris 2.7
with SunPro cc (see item 814613) but is also true for
Solaris 2.7 with gcc.

The real problem is that AF_INET6 is used when
ENABLE_IPV6 is undefined. I believe this must fail for
any system where IPV6 is not avalilable.

The second problem was already reported for Irix (see
item 818490) but is also true for Solaris 2.7. The
solution for Irix is also valid for Solaris. If I
change socketmodule.c line 204 to:

#if (defined(__sgi) || defined(sun)) &&
!defined(INET_ADDRSTRLEN)

the error is gone.

I think it's worth noting that the preprocessor directive
near line 2975 is #ifndef , whereas all other preprocessor
directives in the file that refer to the IPV6 symbol are
#ifdef . In other words, it looks like just that one
directive is a typo. Changing #ifndef to #ifdef fixes it for me.
