Your *real* problem is not the missing header.  The functions that this 
header declares are missing from the DJGPP library.  Copying a header 
won't help, because the linker won't find these functions which the code 
you are trying to compile needs.

You need to find a library which implements the netdb functionality, and 
which will compile and work in a DJGPP program.  When you find such a 
library, it will most probably come with the netdb.h header.

Sorry, I don't know where (or indeed if) such a library is available.
