It sounds like getaddrinfo is a better routine to use. Will this cause problems for folks on old POSIX platforms? I suppose that those so affected could use the existing gethostbyname code by copying it from the posix directory to, say, solaris? Or should this be a 3.15 change and we'll wave goodbye to those folks?
I think this would include RTEMS 4.9 series which we (NSLS2) still use. I don't know about newer RTEMS releases. I like the idea of using the newer API, but not enough to break compatibility.
