[New-bugs-announce] [issue19561] request to reopen Issue837046 - pyport.h redeclares gethostname() if SOLARIS is defined

[Richard PALO]

New submission from Richard PALO:

I'd like to have reopened this previous issue as it is still very much the case.

I believe as well that the common distros (I can easily verify OpenIndiana and OmniOS) patch it out (patch file attached). 
Upstream/oracle/userland-gate seems to as well.

It is time to retire this check, or at least take into consideration the parametrization from unistd.h:

#if defined(_XPG4_2)
extern int gethostname(char *, size_t);
#elif  !defined(__XOPEN_OR_POSIX) || defined(__EXTENSIONS__)
extern int gethostname(char *, int);
#endif
