Comment(by asn):

 It seems that this ticket is hosting two different issues:

 a) The fact that ntohl is the first test we are doing and uses our
 `CFLAGS`. Which means that if our `CFLAGS` are b0rked, we get "ntohl could
 not be found" and not "your CFLAGS are b0rked".

 b) The fact that the current ntohl test in `m4/winsock.m4` is
 overengineered and can be replacaed by `AC_TRY_LINK`.

 All the patches and branches referenced in previous comments are
 addressing b). I created #5675 for b).

 Let's keep this ticket for a).
