Here's how to do it using
Another case, tcl was using gethostbyname_r as well,
resulting in a runtime crash in code not frequently used:

We have a definition of the symbol gethostbyname_r in libc. It is
problematic because:
1. It is not compatible with the glibc definition of the symbol.
2. It is not declared anywhere in a header file we install.
So autoconf will detect that the symbol exists, a C compiler with
-Wno-error will in
