It helps if you give us the output of whatever is giving you the error,
and linux 5.2?  whats that? :)

it seems there is a collision between a member of nb_dns_result and
<netdb.h>..  the attached patch is an ugly nasty hack that gets it to
compile..  then you get to run into collisions in TCP.h.. 

I don't have time now, but maybe later I'll try to get this to compile
under glibc and linux.
