Thanks for the patch - it got my package building.  However, I've been
digging deeper into the situation and found the following change was
made recently in F-9's glibc:

diff --git a/resolv/netdb.h b/resolv/netdb.h
index 7c5c9c9..5e007e2 100644
--- a/resolv/netdb.h
+++ b/resolv/netdb.h

 # define NI_NUMERICHOST        1       /* Don't try to look up hostname.  */
 # define NI_NUMERICSERV 2      /* Don't convert port number to name.  */

So that means that I'd have to define _GNU_SOURCE to use these macros.
 I had a similar issue when compiling the new linphone package in
rawhide.  I'm not sure which way is the "correct" way but something
that will certainly need to be kept in mind.
