I have had this problem on Solaris 2.5 and 2.5.1 as well.
Here are the prototypes:

struct hostent *gethostbyname_r(const char *name,
          struct hostent *result, char *buffer, int buflen,
          int *h_errnop);

struct hostent *gethostbyaddr_r(const char *addr,
          int length, int type, struct hostent *result,
          char *buffer,  int buflen, int *h_errnop);
