I stumbled into a problem I don't understand.
I'm developing a little program for an ftp client. In order to connect
to the site I need the site address from the site name, and the libc
gethostbyname() provides the required information.
gethostbyname returns a PHostEnt type which is declared

Should that not simply be
Addr := Pin_addr(HostEnt.h_addr^)
(if addr is a pointer)
or
addr:=Pin_addr(HostEnt.h_addr^)^
if Addr

but

works only if mode is Delphi. In objfpc it raises exactly the same error.
A little bit weird, isn't it?
It depends. It assumes .h_addr is compatibl
