I ran into another problem first, before I got a chance to check what you're
talking about up there!

I tend to build my dev version with configure --disable-shared, and when I do
that I get no libhostname.so for the LD_PRELOAD, I only get a libhostname.a
built which of course causes the preload to fail[*]. The nice part is of
course that your logic in sethostname.c is then perfectly getting the name
with the environment variable instead and the test can still work!

[*] = if I use valgrind when doing the LD_PRELOAD failure, it goes completely
bananas and shows me a long series of:

  Read 8 invalid bytes

  Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

... and I've had to ctrl-c break that output. So something is not quite right
there. Or here perhaps is a better term to use!
