Because autoconf looks for them and will assume non-reentrancy if they are not present. Also, for source compatability with linux and solaris and just about everything else that implements this stuff. The expectation is that gethostbyXXX is non-safe and that gethostbyXXX_r is safe. If you can make the non_r versions safe then that is a bonus I guess.
