If I recall correctly we already got a patch for that,
but it broke some test cases. I think there were
problems with how to find alias names for the generated
hostent structs that was not supported with
getaddrinfo. So there were things to consider...
A new patch would be nice, or to get the old
again. Otherwise I would have to find the old
by myself.
