Probably neither.

I think the problem is that you shouldn't use these functions.
Find out why you think you need them.  Then get rid of that need.  :-)

One workaround would be to link the program completely static
(-all-static), but I'm guessing it still won't give you the
functionality you need (some of glibc's networking stuff only
works from the shared library).  And of course other functionality,
which you have already found out.
