No, works for gethostbyname as well. They are all in libnsl.

The problem with the current check is its only an AC_CHECK_FUNCS. We need an
AC_SEARCH_LIBS first so the proper -llibrary is appended to LIBS, which is used
by AC_CHECK_FUNCS.

AC_SEARCH_LIBS(gethostbyname_r, c nsl)
AC_CHECK_FUNCS([strerror_r getpwuid_r gethostbyname_r])

(AC_CHECK_FUNCS from configure.in line 1371)

It worked for me.
