[vlc-devel] [PATCH] configure: test for getaddrinfo_a and libanl

[Natanael Copa]

Test for the existence of the GNU extension getaddrinf_a and libanl
instead of assuming that every Linux has it. Fall back to posix variant
if they are missing.

This fixes build with musl libc which does not implement this GNU
extension.

Fixes #19320
