Without additional information, I'd say you are trying to link against
a linux library.  You are presumably running FreeBSD, so that is not
likely to work.

But, as that particular symbol can cause problems on linux if you have
a library built against an older version of glibc, pehaps you are
actually running Linux?  If so, this is the wrong mailing list.
