Subject: maybe a smaller HOST_NAME_MAX?

in limits.h, glibc defines it as 64, musl has a valueof 255.

according a man page:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/gethostname.2.html. HOST_NAME_MAX is
defined as 64 since linux 1.0. include/uapi/asm-generic/param.h could
verify that.

as musl targeted on linux-based devices, i think it makes sense to use a
smaller HOST_NAME_MAX.
