IF upgrading your libc-dev is not an option, you can either add the
#define for AI_ADDRCONFIG to /usr/include/netdb.h or remove
AI_ADDRCONFIG in the 2 lines that it appears in socket-io.c.

My /usr/include/netdb.h has these lines: 
/* Possible values for `ai_flags' field in `addrinfo' structure.  */
# define AI_PASSIVE     0x0001  /* Socket address is intended for `bind'.  */
# define AI_CANONNAME   0x0002  /* Request for canonical name.  */
# define AI_NUMERICHOST 0x0004  /* Don't use name resolution.  */
# define AI_V4MAPPED    0x0008  /* IPv4 mapped addresses are acceptable.  */
# define AI_ALL         0x0010  /* Return IPv4 mapped and IPv6 addresses.  */
# define AI_ADDRCONFIG  0x0020  /* Use configuration of this host to choose
                                   returned address type..  */
