Description Paul Wouters 2013-11-08 01:34:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

/usr/bin/filan on all architectures uses function gethostbyname
/usr/bin/procan on all architectures uses function gethostbyname
/usr/bin/socat on all architectures uses function gethostbyname
Comment 4 Gerhard 2016-06-28 12:08:59 UTC 
Socat build process falls back to gethostbyname() only when neither getaddrinfo() nor getipnodebyname() are available.

Thanks Gerhard!
