It seems you need to link check_icmp with additional libraries to reach 
the functions you need.

Do like this;
for i in `grep -l sendto /lib/*.so /usr/lib/*.so | sed -e 's,^.*/lib,,' 
-e 's/\..*//'`; do gcc check_icmp -o check_icmp -l$i; done

That will try linking with all libraries that have a symbol called 
sendto in them (or one referring to it, compiled with debugging 
support). If that doesn't help I'll need more info about the system.

Most likely someone else on this list is more experienced with solaris 
than I am, so they might be able to help you.
