This looks bad. Make sure you are using the correct compiler options
to create position independent code. If BSDI can't build dynamic
loadable Tcl packages, you either have to rewrite the Makefiles and
the Scotty initialization code or you have to fix Tcl7.6 on BSDI (or
the other way round :-).

This one is interesting. INADDR_LOOPBACK is explicitely defined in
unix/tnmUnixPort.h for those UNIX versions that don't define this
constant. I have no idea why this definitions is not available in
tnmDns.c (which includes tnmPort.h which includes tnmUnixPort.h).
Anyway, copy the define into tnmDns.c if this helps.
Finally, ignore all the warnings that are caused by incompatible
resolver prototypes.
