I managed to rewrite the code in GSS to not need the gethostname
function at all, so I don't care strongly about the patch to make
gethostname work under mingw anymore. My initial patch could be used,
but Bruno's concern about linking to -lws2_32 may be a reason against.

The current gethostname module will return an empty string on mingw:
strcpy (name, "");/* Hardcode your system name if you want. */
This is sub-optimal since Windows has a gethostname function in
-lws2_32.
The following patch should make gethostname return proper values.
Tested on
