   6 #
   7 #   AX_LIB_SOCKET_NSL
   8 #
   9 # DESCRIPTION
  10 #
  11 #   This macro figures out what libraries are required on this platform to
  12 #   link sockets programs.
  13 #
  14 #   The common cases are not to need any extra libraries, or to need
  15 #   -lsocket and -lnsl. We need to avoid linking with libnsl unless we need
  16 #   it, though, since on some OSes where it isn't necessary it will totally
  17 #   break networking. Unisys also includes gethostbyname() in libsocket but
  18 #   needs libnsl for socket().
