OK, thanks.

Zoong Pham also posted a patch for Tru64 that does this, and also a
few other things.  (This is patches/rsync_zoong_tru64.diff)

 - Fix the size_t ternary in batch.c -- now merged.

 - Apparently work around mknod's inability to create pipes or
   sockets.  Is that necessary?  (i.e. does 2.5.5 not copy fifos on
   Tru64?)

 - Something similar to china's patch for getaddrinfo -- merged.

 - Define EAI_ values not defined by the system headers.   After
   seeing the mess in the RH5.2 header files I can sympathize, but
   adding them in by hand will is just not going to work.  Is there
   something else we can do to get the system headers to either
   provide all the values or none?

   At the least we need to test for each value that may be missing it
   and provide it only if so.
