Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function's second argument type is @code{int} instead of @code{size_t}
on some platforms:
OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10.
@item
If the given buffer is too small for the host name, some implementations
fail with @code{EINVAL}, instead of returning a truncated host name.
