Subject: sql/mysqld.cc of 3.22.19b does not compile on Solaris 2.5.1

>Description:
	We tried to compile the source distribution of MySQL on Solaris 2.5.1
	with our compilers from Sun (release 4.2). Everything went fine with
	the exception of sql/mysqld.cc that uses gethostname() without
	having a prototype for it.
	
	Prototypes for gethostname() are
	nowhere available in the include files below /usr/include, so
	you have to add either in some include file of your own or directly
	to sql/mysqld.cc:

	   extern "C" int gethostname(char *name, int namelen);
>How-To-Repeat:
	On Solaris 2.5.1:
	CC=cc CXX=CC ./configure && make
>Fix:
	Just add ``extern "C" int gethostname(char *name, int namelen);''
	at a convenient location that becomes effective for sql/mysqld.cc.
