[PATCH gwproxy v2 0/2] Fixes for older glibc version

[Alviro Iskandar Setiawan]

Good morning!

Two patches to fix issues with older glibc version, specifically
glibc version 2.28 which is the default on AlmaLinux-8.

  GNU CC version 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-26) with glibc version 2.28.

v2:
  - Define __sys_gettid() in syscall.h instead of log.c to avoid
    missing __do_syscall0() definition on architectures other
    than x86_64.

[PATCH gwproxy v2 1/2] log: Fix missing `gettid()` syscall on older glibc version

[Alviro Iskandar Setiawan]

Compiling on GNU CC version 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-26) with
glibc version 2.28 throws this error:

  src/gwproxy/log.c: In function ‘__pr_log’:
  src/gwproxy/log.c:51:56: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘gettid’; \
                                    did you mean ‘getgid’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Fix it by defining our own `__sys_gettid()`.

[PATCH gwproxy v2 2/2] configure: Append `-lanl` lib to fix missing `getaddrinfo_a()`

[Alviro Iskandar Setiawan]

Compiling on GNU CC version 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-26) with
glibc version 2.28 throws this error:

  undefined reference to `getaddrinfo_a'

As such, `getaddrinfo_a()` is never used in that environment eventhough
it's available. Append `-lanl` if on `getaddrinfo_a()` check.
