Hello Brooks,
I might be misunderstanding your comment, but if I'm not, I need to
clarify the following: I am not attempting to build the ACE libraries
themselves; I'm using the ACE package from the ports system.

Problem is, when you include /usr/local/include/ace/OS_NS_netdb.h
(installed when you install ACE from ports) in an application, it fails
to build because the functions "::gethostbyaddr_r", "::gethostbyname_r",
"::getprotobyname_r", "::getprotobynumber_r", "::getservbyname_r" don't
appear to be defined anywhere. I was wondering if anyone with experience
using ACE on FreeBSD had encountered this issue themselves.

Thanks,
JP
