Problem with GLIBC_PRIVATE

Hi,

I've tried packaging twinkle, a sip softphone, for FE but there is a 
problem with the dependencies.

twinkle is linking against libresolv, but is using some GLIBC_PRIVATE 
symbols, as objdump shows:

  required from libresolv.so.2:
    0x0d696912 0x00 16 GLIBC_2.2
    0x0d696910 0x00 11 GLIBC_2.0
    0x0963cf85 0x00 10 GLIBC_PRIVATE

Calling nm on the binary shows that the following to symbols are used:
         U __ns_get16@@GLIBC_PRIVATE
         U __ns_name_ntop@@GLIBC_PRIVATE


Question is, how to proceed?
Is this merely a linker problem, that the wrong libraries are linked or is 
it a problem in the application which shouldn't use these calls at all?

thx,
 andreas
