Jeff, please apply the attached patch.  It's based on Russ's answer on

+dnl 
+dnl This macro figures out what libraries are required on this platform
+dnl to link sockets programs.
+dnl
+dnl The common cases are not to need any extra libraries, or to need
+dnl -lsocket and -lnsl.  We need to avoid linking with libnsl unless
+dnl we need it, though, since on some OSes where it isn't necessary it
+dnl will totally break networking.  Unisys also includes gethostbyname()
+dnl in libsocket but needs libnsl for socket().
