Hi,
IIUC it is a pre-requisite for IPv6 support, some UNICes do not support
getaddrinfo required for IPv6. But coincidentally such UNICes are no longer
really supported by GDB. Therefore it was concluded we can remove all such
UNICes and then we can implement IPv6 easily with getaddrinfo.

So I chose HP-UX first for this patch.
There is a LinkedIn HP-UX Users group with almost 4000 members.
I don't know whether it is active or moribund. It might be nice
to see if anyone in the group cares before pulling the plug.
