I think you need to look more closely at the man-page then. It says:
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int gethostname(char *name, size_t len);
int sethostname(const char *name, size_t len);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see fea-
ture_test_macros(7)):
gethostname(): _BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
sethostname(): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE &&
_XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
So, it may be that you are not defining the required FTM. Have a read
of feature_test_macros(7).
Cheers,
Michael
PS I am not part of Debian. If you feel your bug report was in erroir
(I think it is), then would you please close the bug.
