I just started poking into the .99.7 tarballs today. What I found in the
earlier discussion you note (gdm and ORBit) was that if, in the pertinent
Makefile.in's, one added to the LDADDS an '-lnsl', then the build of that
package would complete.

Only problem with this was that when all was said and done (building ORBit and
gnome-libs in this fashion) running panel produced the old familiar 'Undefined
symbol yp_get_default_domain'.

I just started to make gnome-core from the .99.7 tarball and immediately ran
into this animal...again.

This is a production machine that still has pretty much basic hamm still on
it. (That's Debian 2.02, right?)

So that's my two cents worth; I'm not enough of a wizard to take it much
farther. 

What is being suggested - for Debian users - wrt the tcpwrappers package?
