ok, diving into glibc2... the prototype of gethostbyaddr_r (which
would be the right thing to use is:
extern int gethostbyaddr_r (__const void *__restrict __addr, __socklen_t __len,
int __type,
struct hostent *__restrict __result_buf,
char *__restrict __buf, size_t __buflen,
struct hostent **__restrict __result,
int *__restrict __h_errnop) __THROW;
i.e. it has an additional errno pointer parameter.
So I will make up a configure patch for this.
Oliver.
