gethostbyname_r

[Stijn Hoop]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody was working on an implementation of a reentrant
gethostbyname_r function, mostly because it looks like mozilla/firebird will
finally gain support for an async DNS thread in the near future. However,
it is claimed in Mozilla's bug reporting system that FreeBSD 5.x doesn't
have support for this. See

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70213#c36

A quick grep -r in /usr/src shows only hits in contrib, so it's probably
true that it's not implemented.

Any status?
