inet_ntoa on IRIX

[Boyan Gadjev <bgadjev at verio dot net>]

o200 with IRIX 6.5.8m and gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
AND
o200 with IRIX 6.5.4m and gcc version 2.95 19990728 (release)

the source code :
#include <unistd.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main() {
struct sockaddr_in server;
char *name;

inet_aton("64.34.103.9", (struct in_addr *)&server.sin_addr);
name = (char *) inet_ntoa(server.sin_addr);
printf("%s\n", name);
}

compiled with gcc :
root@xxxxxxx ~ # gcc -o t testgcc.c
root@xxxxxxx ~ # ./t
0.0.0.0
(wrong!!!)

compiled with the sgi's cc :
root@xxxxxxx ~ # cc -o t testgcc.c
root@xxxxxxx ~ # ./t
64.34.103.9
(this is the correct one right ? and I have the same result on linux or openbsd)

Sorry if I'm writing about a known problem, but I couldn't find anything about this. I am not a big C specialist :)
