	I am trying to use the 'gethostbyname()' system call in a program.
The manual entry mentions that I must link with 'libbsd.a' in order to use
this function.  However, the function is not defined in that library (or
any other library that I can find) and the loader complains about it being
undefined.

	Any clues?
