Hum, I am not sure it is the correct way to fix that. I think that
libnss_files should be able to resolve entries from /etc/hosts when the
query is relative, but also when it is fully qualified. This is how
libnss_dns behaves.

Also note that technically the glibc doesn't require network access,
just a DNS server able to resolve 'localhost.'
