Yes.  Because autoconf looks for them and will assume non-reentrancy if
they are not present.  Also, for source compatability with linux and
solaris and just about everything else that implements this stuff.  The
expectation is that gethostbyXXX is non-safe and that gethostbyXXX_r is
safe.  If you can make the non_r versions safe then that is a bonus I guess.
