AIX 4.3.2 file /usr/include/netdb.h contains the lines:

extern void *h_errno_which(void);
#define h_errno (*(int *)h_errno_which())

Source file appl/user_user/client.c line 86 reads:

extern int h_errno;

These are incompatible. The above declaration is also found in
appl/gssftp/ftpd/ftpd.c.

Compile-time error.

Declaration is not needed under AIX 4.3.

State-Changed-Why:

All declarations and definitions of h_errno have already been removed
from the 1.1 development branch but two -- one Windows-specific, and
one in telnet used only for UNIX systems not providing herror().
Since you didn't mention that one, I assume the AIX build does not use
that file.

no
Declaration in appl/user_user/client.c is incompatible with AIX 4.3 <netdb.h>.
