Here is a small program that is supposed to find out if the machine on which it
is executing is the "localhost".

----file bob.c----
#include <netdb.h>
main()
{
    int not_local;
    char localname[255];
    struct hostent *hst = gethostbyname ("localhost");
    not_local = !hst || !!(strcmp (localname, hst->h_name));
    printf("%d\n",not_local);
}
----eof----

When I try to compile this by typing "gcc bob.c", I get the following error messages:

    gethostnamadr.o: undefined reference to `__GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_'
    ...
    gethostnamadr.o: more undefined references to `__GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_' follow

The ld program is the GNU version from binutils-beta-1.94.

I should add that I did not follow the fixincludes procedure recommended in the gcc
INSTALL file.  I had already cleaned up the directory when it came to mind to
do the fixincludes.  Unfortunately, typing "make install-fixincludes" seemed to
start compiling the compiler again.  So I killed the 'make' and executed the
fixincludes script by hand.
