I think this may be a glibc issue, rather than a compiler issue.  I get
the same error as Sylvain.  I'm using a Red Hat 7.2 machine.  The exact
same error occurs with Red Hat's gcc-2.96-98 and gcc3-3.0.1-3.

Gerard, what is the prototype for gethostname in /usr/include/unistd.h
for gethostname?

james[1]%rpm -qf /usr/include/unistd.h
glibc-devel-2.2.4-19
james[2]%grep gethostname /usr/include/unistd.h
extern int gethostname (char *__name, size_t __len) __THROW;
   Called just like `gethostname' and `sethostname'.
james[3]%grep gethostname ../../include/winsock.h
int WINAPI WS(gethostname)(char*,int);
james[4]%rpm -q gcc
gcc-2.96-98
james[5]%rpm -q gcc3
gcc3-3.0.1-3
james[6]%gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
