If so, there's still a bug because these units are provided in binary
form on the win32 distribution of FPC. Besides, the same kind of error
was present on 1.0.4 for mysql and ibase units.

But I remember have used these units (well, at least the sockets unit)
with FPC 1.0.4. I also think that the winsock.dll contains both the
sockets calls and the gethostby* functions so It should not be hard to
provide a win32 version.
