Description of Problem:
closesocket is aliased to close, refer to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=MONO58848 for more information.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Try to compile on redhat 7.2 or RHEL3

Actual Results:
Make exits with error below.
In file included from ../../mono/io-layer/wapi.h:27,
                 from io.c:35:
../../mono/io-layer/sockets.h:44: conflicting types for `close'
/usr/include/unistd.h:305: previous declaration of `close'
io.c:1475: warning: `convert_perms' defined but not used
make[6]: *** [io.lo] Error 1

Expected Results:
Successfully completed make.


How often does this happen?
Every attempt.


Additional Information:
Sorry I don't know how to create a patch. The fix is easy though, place
this line just above the function definition for closesocket in
mono/io-layer/sockets.h.

#undef closesocket

None of the places where closesocket is defined you listed in the
other bug report should be included by a mono build.  We don't link to
perl, apache, mysql, php or kerberos.

Seems to be an old OS problem.

It appears that this is due to Apache modifying
/usr/include/fnmatch.h, which is included by mono/io-layers/io.c

fnmatch.h includes ap_config.h, which redefines the alias. 

Ideally, Apache wouldn't break stuff in this way, but this is in no
way an 'obsolete OS issue' - this happens on a new SLES-9 box with the
latest version of Apache. 

I would suggest either adding the undef to sockets.h, or renaming
closesocket (it's only called by mono/metadata/socket-io.c

This then is an apache bug, not mono,
