Probably.  I'll have to update the try-compile test to include it.  For 
now you can work around the problem by manually editing CMakeCache.txt 
and switching the line

VTK_HAVE_GETSOCKNAME_WITH_SOCKLEN_T:INTERNAL=0

to

VTK_HAVE_GETSOCKNAME_WITH_SOCKLEN_T:INTERNAL=1

Then run make again.  You might also have to add -lsocket to your 
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS setting.
