htonl() is a macro in /usr/include/netinet/in.h .

vfork() is in /lib/clib on my node.  The reason it doesn't show up during Configure
is that it is a user-defined segment symbol, and Configure only examines
absolute, text segment, and data segment symbols.  I suppose you could fix that
with the following patch to Configure:

*** Configure.old	Thu Nov  8 15:55:08 1990

We don't appear to have vfork.h, but I don't think it's necessary.
