This happens on at least PPC Mac OS X 10.4.11, Tiger. Compiler is by default Apple's
version of GCC 4.2. The error is reported as this:

Cause is that the declaration of 'INADDR_LOOPBACK' is hidden behind some guards. The
two external links document the situation, they also offer patches, either the attached
one or this addition for src/assuan-socket.c:
//fix missing define in MacOSX 10.4 Tiger
#ifndef INADDR_LOOPBACK
#define INADDR_LOOPBACK (u_int32_t)0x7f000001
#endif
In ten days I'll be at home again with my Apple PowerBook G4 and might have time to
check the situation in Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard.
