Summary: 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.

Category is wrong. Should be Standards Compliance but I can't figure out
how to correct it after submitting.
