getaddrinfo() is a bit funny under 10.1, as it exists in the standard C 
library but doesn't really work. Declaring it as static in getaddrinfo.c 
should probably work, that C file is #include'd into socketmodule.c.

And I have reason to believe that the getaddrinfo problem will disappear 
in the next version of OSX.
