warning on Solaris 2.5.1 x86

gcc -c   -O2 -DSOLARIS2=251  http_main.c
http_main.c: In function `sock_bind': http_main.c:1813: warning: passing arg 2 of `bind' discards `const' from pointer target type

This changed when Dean made sock_bind.  Will just removing the const cause
any warnings on other platforms?

No, but you'll have to remove it from the prototype of sock_bind, and
make_sock too.  imho this is a solaris 2.5.1/x86 header file bug and not
worth working around. 

Passing a non-const to a const is fine.
Passing a const to a non-const generates warnings.
