The configure scripts tries to compile the following:

  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/socket.h>
  int accept (int, struct sockaddr *, socklen_t *);

If it works, then socklen_t is supposed to be defined and nothing needs
to be done (no -Dsocklen_t=int or similar).

Maybe some other #include is needed for the code to work on IRIX? What
does "man 2 accept" say?
