Yes or getservbyname will not work and cause various failures.
I have a micro test that show a variable speed depending if package is
stripped or not (you would need to use make STRIP=yes that LFS actually is
not using)
#include <netdb.h>
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct servent *sv;
int i;
for (i=0; i< 10000; i++)
sv = getservbyname(argv[1], NULL);
}
