The use of <prefix>/bin/hostname by <prefix>/bin/resolveip is strange, of
course. But your real problem seems to be that the output of /bin/hostname
cannot be resolved to a valid IP address for your host. Fix this and it should
no longer complain, too. Additionally we should determine why MySQL's
resolveip tries <prefix>/bin/hostname...
