Re: missing getaddrinfo

Currently, cygwin does not provide getaddrinfo, even though
SUSv3 specifies it in <sys/socket.h>/<netdb.h>.  CVS Coreutils
has been using gnulib to provide a replacement definition,
but recently gnulib was updated to work on mingw, reusing
the winsock headers/libraries to provide getaddrinfo.  As a
result, coreutils is now trying to link in -lws2_32 to get
the winsock version of getaddrinfo (and I suspect that will
not work properly).

I have used the following as a workaround in several packages:

You need only the getaddrinfo.{c,h} from the tarball (and the README for license?) and include it in your sources; exactly how depends on the package.
