I did a 'man getservbyname' and found out I needed to use -lsocket
-lnsl. I added next to -lpcre in the Makefile and my error message
shrinked to this

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -DHAVE_RPCENT -DMAXMSG=32768
-DBBDPORTNUMBER=1984 -I. -I/usr/share/src/hobbit-4.0-RC3/include -o
hobbit-mailack  hobbit-mailack.o ../lib/libbbgen.a -L/usr/local/lib
-lpcre -lsocket -lnsl
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
inet_aton                           ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to
hobbit-mailack
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [hobbit-mailack] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/src/hobbit-4.0-RC3/hobbitd'
make: *** [hobbitd-build] Error 2


Now I did a 'man inet' which also recommeds the socket and nsl library
but no go yet.

Let me know if I can go any further. 

Thanks
