This is due to the version of libc on your build machine.
If you need to support an older box you're going to either
need to build on that box (or one with a compatible set of
libraries) or else find a way to specify linkage with the
older set of libraries.

The usual solution is the former--I still have functional
Solaris 2.5.1 boxes here just in case, to use as build hosts.

Hope this helps--
