Ouch, this is serious, and was introduced recently. Jim, Paul, would
you agree to re-license inttostr as LGPL? If you don't have another
solution, I'll back out the changes to getaddrinfo in:
2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* lib/getaddrinfo.c (getnameinfo): Use new lightweight uinttostr,
in place of snprintf.
* modules/inttostr (Files): Add lib/uinttostr.c.
* lib/uinttostr.c (inttostr): New file/function.
* lib/inttostr.h (uinttostr): Declare.
* m4/inttostr.m4: Add AC_LIBOBJ([uinttostr]).
* MODULES.html.sh (Numeric conversion functions <stdlib.h>):
Add uinttostr.
* modules/getaddrinfo (Depends-on): Remove snprintf. Add inttostr.

Yes, I would very much appreciate something like that. That reminds
me to work on providing auto-building of gnulib...
