Even though the situation improved, there are still some programs left
which use the gethostby* functions.  These really have to be converted
to use getaddrinfo.  Here is the break-down per package of an incomplete
installation giving the number of programs/libraries with problems in
that package.  I.e., there are like more packages on an install-all
machine.  The full list with the program/library names is at

   http://people.redhat.com/drepper/gethostby-users
