You should perhaps read this newsgroup more often.

libc.so.3 is part of FreeBSD 2.2 (not yet release), and the major
version number bump was necessary since the (defunct) NS and ISO
networking has been removed from the kernel and the library.

Since it was not an addition, you can circumvent the problem by
linking libc.so.2.2 to libc.so.3.0.  However, be careful, or all your
newly-linked programs will be linked against version 3.
