How? Shouldn't this code be in a non-shared part of the application? And if the library had such checks in it, wouldn't that library likely NOT be under the GPL for libraries? You can selectively link libraries static or dynamic, so if you were relying on the hostid being set (a foolish thing to do because it is easy to spoof even w/o shared libraries), then link in libc statically.
