I'm assuming this is a short-lived user-space program.
And any memory is freed when it exits.
So I'm unsure about the value of this change.

I think it would be nicer to add another label here, say err_free_buff,
and then use it in the previous two hunks.

Changes in v2:
- add the label to use instead of directly to use on each case.

Since you added the gotos now perhaps it'd be even better to remove
this freeaddrinfo() call here, and instead jump to a separate label...
