Are you sure the libwrap.a you use for the build process was also
built on Solaris 2.6? For me, it seems to have been built on
Solaris 8 - both Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7 do not have any of the
functions the linker is missing.

Note that you can use libraries and binaries built on an older
Solaris version on newer ones without problems, but not
necessarily the other way around.
