the rdi's host.h is really a non-autoconf approach to generating host 
definitions.  It's contents should really be replaced with an include of 
the standard autoconf generated definitions followed by some cleanups (ie 
defining the types that the rdi code need in terms of what autoconf has 
provided) to make the rest of the rdi files compile cleanly.
