Debian package build problems with 2.0.9 (from git)

[Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>]

It looks like the newer libgc is headed for unstable, and I'm working on
the Debian packages for 2.0.9, where I've run into a couple of problems.

The first might be a problem caused by my packaging, but in case not,
the build from git fails because doc/ref/effective-version.texi doesn't
exist when it tries to build guile.info.  Here's how I fixed that for
now in doc/ref/Makefile.am:

  -guile.texi: libguile-autoconf.texi
  +guile.texi: effective-version.texi libguile-autoconf.texi

The second problem is that the net-db.test is failing:

  Running net-db.test
  unexpected error code: -11 "System error"
  FAIL: net-db.test: getaddrinfo: no name

But it looks like at least on my current (Debian unstable) system,
that may be the normal behavior.  This program:

  #include <errno.h>
  #include <netdb.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <string.h>

  int
  main(int argc, char **argv)
  {
    struct addrinfo c_hints, *c_result;

    memset(&c_hints, 0, sizeof (c_hints));
    const int err = getaddrinfo ("does-not-exist",
                                 NULL,
                                 &c_hints,
                                 &c_result);
    if (err == 0)
      freeaddrinfo (c_result);

    printf("err: %d\n", err);
    printf("errno: %d\n", errno);

    return 0;
  }

Produces this output:

  $ ./foo
  err: -11
  errno: 2

So I'm wondering if there's a problem with my test code, my system, or
if the test might need another exception here:

            (and (or (= errcode EAI_NONAME)
                     (and (defined? 'EAI_NODATA)  ; GNU extension
                          (= errcode EAI_NODATA))
                     (= errcode EAI_AGAIN)

Thanks
