inet_addr and inet_ntoa are standard things which, according to the man
page, should be available via -lnsl, which I see you have.
The rest are all part of the resolver library, which should be available
via -lresolv, which I see you also have.
I don't know if there is an official way of checking which functions are
available in a library (ar -t just shows the files) but just to be
absolutely sure you could try commands like
strings /usr/lib/libnsl.a | grep inet_addr
which does find the string when I tried it.
