This should work, before long:

  probe process("/libMMM/libc-NNN.so").function("gethostbyname").call { log(user_string($name)) }

In some testing on RHEL5 however, our prologue-searching heuristics
can't outwit gcc's poor debuginfo quality, so that parameter is hidden
at the moment.  There's a systemtap PR about improving the heuristics.
