Comment (by pulkomandy):

Yes, APR can use getaddrinfo when available (see find_addresses at

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/apr/apr/trunk/network_io/unix/sockaddr.c?revision=1683521&view=markup).
While checking this I also saw that the gethostbyname_r on Solaris has a
different prototype than the one in Linux. There are versions with 3, 5 or
6 arguments, depending on the system you look at. So this doesn't help
much with portability.
