> Have you run a debugger to see _why_ gethostbyname is failing?
The program I'm testing is:
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
struct hostent * hp;
if ( (hp = gethostbyname("localhost")) == NULL )
printf("gethostbyname failed\n");
return 0;
}

I also wished this was the case, but it seems like it doesn't work if the
static binaires uses NSS. Take a look at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2002/debian-glibc-200210/msg00093.html:

I'm afraid you are SOL if you want to use stock glibc 2.3 with those old
static binaries.

Yes.
