Well, I had seen several machines having "127.0.0.1
localhost.localdomain localhost" in /etc/hosts and running MySQL without
problems, so you could be a bit more specific about how do you get this
error.

Expected by whom?

The latter is completely wrong. First, there is no such thing as
"myrealdomain". A machine may have multiple network interfaces, every
interface may have multiple addresses, every address resolving to a
different domain. You cannot even order them in any sensible way.

They don't do that because that's wrong.
