Description:
Installing 32-bit PKG on SPARC, the mysql_install_db script fails with a resolveip issue. 

The problem is that the embedded bindir_extras variable is not being set correctly, and so resolveip is looked for at root level, rather than installation directory level. 

How to repeat:
$ cd /usr/local/mysql
$ ./scripts/mysql_install_db

Output: 

Neither host 'ultra3' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with
/resolveip
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct
hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script
with the --force option

Suggested fix:
Fix the identity of the current directory and therefore the setting of bindir_extras

Thank you for a problem report. The variable is "extra_bindir", but anyway...
