For "historical" (April 2013 :-) reasons, the hostname package and a 
hostname-less coreutils exist only in the x86_64 distro:
https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2013-04/msg00106.html

Could possibly someone with sufficient access rights perform a 
synchronized upload of new x86 coreutils and x86 hostname?

The latter is available here:
