Hmm ... you could add "#include <sys/byteorder.h>" but I fear you're
going to need that in a lot of places.  The Single Unix Spec specifies
that these functions are to be declared in <arpa/inet.h>, and that
seems to be where most systems put 'em, because I can't recall having
heard many previous complaints about this sort of failure.  The shortest
route to success might be to modify your local copy of 
/usr/include/arpa/inet.h to include sys/byteorder.h, instead.

BTW, it could be that arpa/inet.h already does include sys/byteorder.h,
but only when some configuration symbol is defined.  In that case you
might want to force the configuration symbol instead.  Compare HPUX,
where we do
	CPPFLAGS="-D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED"
in order to get access to a reasonable set of predefined symbols ...
