Yes you're right that works, the file contains nothing but __gethostname and
its weak_alias, so removing the function means removing the file, and the
sysdeps search then falls through to sysdeps/posix/gethostname.c. I've tested
that on alpha: the generic implementation is used and misc/tst-gethostname
passes. I'll post a v2 posted separately.
