Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

  * This function is missing on some platforms: mingw.

  * The inet_ntoa function need not be reentrant, and consequently is not required to be thread safe.  Implementations of inet_ntoa typically write the time stamp into static buffer. If two threads call inet_ntoa at roughly the same time, you might end up with the wrong date in one of the threads, or some undefined string.

Note: inet_ntoa is specific for IPv4 addresses. A protocol independent function is inet_ntop.
