Re: Detection of HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE in configure

Do you have a system on which current git version detection of
getaddrinfo() thread-safeness is wrong? Not theoretical thinking but
actual run and facts.

In any case take in account that the most important thing about the
test is to not provide false-positive results that would break libcurl
operation. A false-negative detection is not a big issue given that
libcurl will work nicely in that case.

Obviously if you have a system on which detection is wrong, I'm
interested in further details about that platform.

The test is specific for libcurl purposes and is not inteneded to be
usefull out of libcurl project.
