There is a configure option (build time) to enable persistent
hostname support:
  --with-hostname-persist

It takes an argument, so be sure to look farther than just 
passing that flag to configure -- you'll have to see which
of the available options best suits you based on what they
do (which will require reading a bit of the configure script
itself).
