In config.log you can look at what's causing linking to fail. In my
test, I came up with:

Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
getprotobyname
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3.2/../../../libpcap.a(nametoaddr.o)
gethostbyname
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3.2/../../../libpcap.a(nametoaddr.o)
getservbyname
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3.2/../../../libpcap.a(nametoaddr.o)
getnetbyname
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3.2/../../../libpcap.a(nametoaddr.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to conftest

and poking about for getXXbyYY on Solaris, I found this in the
nsswitch.conf manpage:

  Programs that use the getXXbyYY() functions cannot be linked
  statically  since  the  implementation  of  these  functions
  requires dynamic linker functionality to access  the  shared
  objects /usr/lib/nss_SSS.so.1 at run time.
