I find this very strange, since no one else has reported this and I figure it
should hit quite a lot of people if this is truly a curl error.

However, can you possibly set a break-point in Curl_getaddrinfo (hostip.c
around line 510) and single-step forward until it fails and see what kind of
error it detects?

We use gethostbyname_r() for name resolves (where available), and this
function is annoyingly badly documented.

It could resolve the proxy name at least!

I don't think it is gcc-related, no. But I have no good ideas yet. I need
more details on the little things.
