Hmm, that's not very helpful.  Could you try finding out what it is that
determines that the stack base is NULL?

Alternatively, if you know of a way we could test Guile on that
platform, that would be great.

I mean, was it /usr/include/netdb.h or /usr/include/sys/netdb.h?

I assume the latter since <netdb.h> is already included in `net_db.c'.

Thanks for your perseverance!
