Nope. This is getaddrinfo() function. So it is glibc, not gcc or
optimization.
getaddrinfo() does not work in jessie glibc when linked statically.
It immediately returns "Name or service not known" (rc=-2) without
trying to read /etc/hosts or send dns queries.
At link time, there's a warning issued, --
warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
but even if the same library is installed it doesn't work still.
This makes it.. interesting...
