[distcc] errno not reset by connect(2)

[Jean Delvare]

Hi Martin et al.,

I found that I need the following patch for distcc (2.18.1) to work on
my SunOS 5.8 workstation at work. Looks like on this system, connect(2)
won't reset errno to 0 when successful. I guess this is a broken
behavior to have, but the workaround in the distcc code isn't too
intrusive and obviously safe for all systems, so maybe we can get it in?

Thanks,
Jean
