Comment:

This function is non-standard and was not in BeOS (according to
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/gethostbyaddr_005fr.html).
They are also deprecated in other systems: getaddrinfo should be used
instead as it supports IPv6 and is designed to be thread-safe.

in hrev49306 I have updated APR to not use the functions anymore, this
makes svn work again.
