I also have this problem on a sun machine. The solution is following:
----------------------------------------------------------

static linking on solaris:
libkpathsea.a(tilde.o) -> getpwnam -> libc.a(getpwnam.o) -> _fgetpwent_r ->
libc.a(getpwnam_r.o) -> _nss_getent -> libc.a(nss_common.o) ->
nss_default_finders -> libc.a(nss_deffinder.o) -> 
dlclose,dlsym,dlopen (undefined)

Added  dlsym.o to libc.a:
     void *dlopen() { return 0; }
     void *dlsym()  { return 0; }
     int dlclose()  { return -1; }
----------------------------------------------------------

This comment comes from the documentation of kpathsea lib
