If the Gnulib module supports just the part of getaddrinfo_a that Emacs 
needs, that should be good enough. Lots of Gnulib modules implement only 
the "important" parts of the portable interface, where "important" means 
"needed by GNU apps that use Gnulib", a definition that can change with 
time as usage grows.

If all this is too much trouble, then just patching Emacs is OK too. We 
can worry about libraryizing a getaddrinfo_a substitute later.
