Summary: Compile error for HsNet.h

Initial Comment:
libraries/network/Network/BSD.hsc fails to compile on
RedHat 6.2 (GNU libc 2.1.3) due to an unknown type
"in_addr_t" in HsNet.h:

../../ghc/utils/hsc2hs/hsc2hs-inplace -Iinclude -I.  
Network/BSD.hsc
In file included from BSD.hsc:99:
include/HsNet.h:77: parse error before `addr'
include/HsNet.h: In function `my_inet_ntoa':
include/HsNet.h:80: `addr' undeclared (first use in
this function)
include/HsNet.h:80: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
include/HsNet.h:80: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [Network/BSD.hs] Error 1
make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/fptools-5.04/libraries'
make: *** [all] Error 1


5.04.1 had a check for this:

#ifndef HAVE_IN_ADDR_T
typedef u_int32_t       in_addr_t;
#endif

This has been removed in 5.04.2.

5.04.1 didn't have that check; as far as I can tell, the 
workaround came in rev 1.9 of HsNet.h and this change was 
never merged into the branch.

So I'm surprised if 5.04.1 worked on that platform, but it is 
indeed a bug.
