It will build fine on many systems (particularly linux) which have modern libc/glibc's where the unix socket stuff is automatically linked by your linker. However, there are many compiler/linker/libc setups where that is not the case. I'm pretty sure Solaris is that way, and possibly also some of the *BSDs. I prefer to leave things the way they are for the simple reason that people who are building SA themselves, as opposed to installing a pre-built package, are more likely to have the libraries they need at link time installed. People whos linkers don't just do the right thing but rather need -lnsl or -lsocket or god knows what else specified through Makefile conditionals would generate a lot more complaints than people who have perl installed but not libdb, or whatever they happen to be missing.
