That's weird. What does libnsl contain if not gethostbyname()?

Jan, you must be confusing something here. gethostname() only gets
the local host name, and is just a wrapper for the appropriate uname()
or sysinfo() call. It has nothing to do with name server lookups,
which is what libnsl is supposed to do.

This part is correct, except we probably want addition of -Wl, on
otherh systems where we use Gcc, too.
Perhaps we really should try to write a libtool-based macro named
WGET_CHECK_EXTERNAL_LIB.
