glibc, Linux's traditional libc, can dynamically load hostname resolution policies, but that only works if the executable has access to dynamic loading, i.e. if it's not a static executable.

Dynamically loading hostname resolution policies doesn't happen often, but when it does happen it's a right pain to diagnose why some tools see the right hostname and other tools don't.
