In this particular case there has to be an investigation
in if the test suites are wrong or the implementation,
or the test site (DNS vs NIS).

Would it be acceptable that there are no hostent aliases
on getaddrinfo hosts but there are on getipnodebyname
hosts? Or since there is alias information in DNS,
should the inet_gethost_native code be able to
find alias information also on getaddrinfo hosts?
And how?
