When cross-compiling for MinGW with GCC 13 / mingw-w64 v11: 1. AC_SEARCH_LIBS(setsockopt, socket) didn't find setsockopt because on MinGW it lives in ws2_32, not socket. This caused AC_REPLACE_FUNCS to compile replacement inet_ntop/inet_pton that conflict with the MinGW-w64 declarations (socklen_t vs size_t parameter types). Fix: search [socket ws2_32] so -lws2_32 is in LIBS. 2. HW_FUNC_VSNPRINTF/HW_FUNC_SNPRINTF use AC_RUN_IFELSE to test C99 compliance, which can't execute when cross-compiling, defaulting to "no". This caused #define vfprintf rpl_vfprintf etc., which conflicts with mingw-w64 v11 inline stdio functions. Fix: default to C99-compliant for mingw* targets in cross-compile.
