rsync 3.1.2

dnl Check for socklen_t: historically on BSD it is an int, and in
dnl POSIX 1g it is a type of its own, but some platforms use different
dnl types for the argument to getsockopt, getpeername, etc.  So we
dnl have to test to find something that will work.

dnl This is no good, because passing the wrong pointer on C compilers is
dnl likely to only generate a warning, not an error.  We don't call this at
dnl the moment.
