While trying to port laby to OpenSuse, automated check detects: laby.x86_64: I: binary-or-shlib-calls-gethostbyname /usr/bin/laby The binary calls gethostbyname(). Please port the code to use getaddrinfo().

See https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_checks#binary-or-shlib-calls-gethostbyname and http://udrepper.livejournal.com/16116.html about why this is raised.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed build is available on https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:sandrobonazzola/laby

It's not a problem with laby, it likely comes from ocaml itself (or possibly lablgtk). The symbols appears to be linked in the binary but I doubt it's ever called.
