Summary: configure on Irix (sockets, posix)

Initial Comment:
The configure script checks for various library calls
just by calling them prefixed with (void), thus
verifying they exist but not checking if their type is
correctly declared.
On Irix and MIPSPro cc, various _r functions
(ctermid_r, gethostbyaddr_r etc) need extra directives
in order to be declared.  This is what the patch does.
Note: in the patch, the check against the CC var is
"cc*)" and not "cc)".  This is deliberate, because if
there is a SGI_ABI env var set to something (eg. -64
for 64bit executable), the configure script changes the
CC var to include the SGI_ABI contents.
