Hmm.  This should be non-fatal in any event, but which header does it
include to get it's htons() and htonl() prototypes?  <netinet/in.h>,
<arpa/inet.h>, or <sys/param.h>?

This is almost completely bogus.  I recently saw a PR of similar
bogusness.

Hello?  I've been overhauling <arpa/inet.h> (and <netinet/in.h>) for
over six months.  The new kernel endian functions complicated things
much more.

This is untrue.  <arpa/inet.h> can appear before <netinet/in.h> or
vice versa (remember to include <sys/types.h> before <netinet/in.h>,
since <netinet/in.h> isn't a POSIX-2001 header yet).
