It is indeed a good idea to use gethostbyname_r() if it is available, we need to
check however whether it is actually available on this system, and we also need
to check for different prototypes (GLIBC, Solaris/Irix, HP-UX all have different
protypes if I remember correctly) and provide implementations for the different
prototypes.
