Summary

0000671: gethostbyname and h_name vs h_aliases

Description

uClibc resolver's gethostbyname does not return the requested name as
an alias, but instead returns the canonical name twice. glibc's
gethostbyname has a similar bug (at least in the old old version I use),
where it returns the requested name
with the domain name appended (to make a FQDN) as an alias, but not
the original name itself. Both contradict POSIX, which says that the
name argument passed to gethostbyname must be in the alias list.
