This may be unrelated, but there is a problem with gcc (2.8.1 at least) on
Irix 6 which causes it to always return the string 255.255.255.255 for _ANY_
address when calling inet_ntoa(). I tried to track this down and failed. The
calling convention into libc must be different, but as far as I could tell
with gdb gcc and Irix cc were both passing the same set of things on the
stack, but the gcc one always resulted in 255.255.255.255.
We noticed this first with ssh. The version compiled with gcc works but logs
all connections as 255.255.255.255 which is next to useless. We gave up and
used the Irix cc to compile it.
It has been mentioned on the ssh newsgroups several times.
