That's your own problem.
Man, you waste a lot of time with your stupid bickering about
nothingnesses, Ilya.
The solution is simple: change Sys::Hostname to provide
gethostname() the way one always wanted. Feel free to
add sethostname(), too, if you want. The problem is that
the current Sys::Hostname algorithm is *WRONG* because
POSIX::uname() does not return correct results because
the hostname isn't long enough. We have the gethostname()
function known at Configure time. Just fricking use it if
it's there!
