about __ARCH_WANT_SYS_GETHOSTNAME

[Randy.Dunlap]

Hi,

What was/is the purpose of __ARCH_WANT_SYS_GETHOSTNAME?
and why do a few arches not #define it?

If it is not #defined, should those arches supply their own
sys_gethostname() function?

21 arches #define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_GETHOSTNAME.
A few don't:  frv, ia64, & xtensa.
But all arches (except for um) #define __NR_gethostname.

Is __ARCH_WANT_SYS_GETHOSTNAME just crufty and doesn't matter
any more?

Thanks,
