Have you read /usr/doc/debian-policy/libc6-migration.text.gz?  Anyway,
you need to change socks so it links the shared library with
-lc. (Among other things)

However socks seems to have some weird (IMO) ideas about how to make a
shared library, I tried adding -lc to the ld call which, rather
interestingly, results in

ld -shared -lc -o libsocks.so.4.3 -soname libsocks.so.4 --whole-archive libsocks.a
ld: internal error ldlang.c 2941

Woops.  Is that because what I'm doing is stupid or is it a bug?
