Research direction
Start with src/core.c, especially proxy_getaddrinfo, and compare its getservbyname_r call with the signature in /usr/include/netdb.h on SmartOS. Review the patch referenced in issue #52, then run make on SmartOS; done means the project builds without the reported argument-count error.
