gcc-3.3.1 build problem MAXHOSTNAMELEN undeclared

[Becky Sander]

Thanks Dan.  I see your point about grep not
telling the whole story.  I've gotten gcc to
build, actually.  I hacked it a bit by adding that
#define line to the natInetAddress.cc file.  It
built correctly.  Surprised the heck out of me! 
And as far as the CPU kudos, I didn't even
understand your sentence, so I guess the credit
goes elsewhere!  I'm just a lowly sys admin.  The
real geniuses are my customers.  Thanks again,

Bec
