Hi,
the following patch fixes the IFF_MULTICAST compile-time problems on
NetBSD,
and it should also fix them on OpenBSD (trac entry #17).

The "MUST" sounds quite strong here.
Usually, and providing the patch utility does not apply an older timestamp
to configure.ac, automake will generate Makefiles so that they detect that
configure needs to be refreshed and re-run. I sometimes see this fail
with BSD make, or see that it happens at the *end* of a BSD make run
rather than at the beginning. I recall there have been relevant fixes; if
those are insufficient, and you'd been using the latest release version of
automake, consider reporting he issue upstream.
I have never seen this with GNU make though - providing your automake is
new enough and you don't add options so that the user must add
--enable-maintainer-mdoe (I don't see it on the 2.2beta branch in Git
though).
