patch to get rid of the syntax error

I'm trying to compile net-ftp/proftpd-1.3.4c on Gentoo/amd64. It fails with
the following error in src/netaddr.c file:
...
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DLINUX  -I.. -I../include  -O2 -pipe -Wall -c netaddr.c
netaddr.c:696:3: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'return'
netaddr.c:697:1: error: expected identifier or '(' before '}' token
netaddr.c: In function 'get_addr_by_name':
netaddr.c:694:3: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DLINUX  -I.. -I../include  -O2 -pipe -Wall -c mod_delay.c
make[1]: *** [netaddr.o] Error 1

I looked into the file and found what is the cause of the syntax error, and created a patch (see attachment).
With this patch, the compilation of the software went successful.
