Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is declared in <winsock2.h> instead of <arpa/inet.h> on some platforms: mingw, MSVC 14.
• POSIX.1-2024 says this function is obsolescent and it is planned to be removed in a future version. Use the function inet_pton instead.
• On some old platforms, this function returns a ‘struct in_addr’ rather than a scalar type such as ‘unsigned int’ or ‘unsigned long’.
