All these warnings are fairly unimportant.  Tell the developer about them,
then ignore them :)

This is because you aren't linking with some library which provides these 
symbols.
Where you said:
gcc  -c -O3 -DHTTP -Wall echoping.c
You should have put something like
gcc  -c -O3 -DHTTP -Wall echoping.c -linet
or
gcc  -c -O3 -DHTTP -Wall echoping.c -linet -lsocket
or
gcc  -c -O3 -DHTTP -Wall echoping.c -lresolv -linet -lsocket
or similar - I'm not sure which for your system.  If you specify more
libraries than needed, it will still work.  If you don't specify enough,
it won't.
To find (most of) the libraries on your system, type (or paste:):
ls -d /usr/lib/lib*[ao]* | sed -e 's/\.[sa][^ ]* / /g' -e \
     'sx[^ ]*/lib/libx-lxg' -e 's/\.[sa][^ ]*$//' | sort -u | xargs echo
(that's two lines, but you could put it on one without the backslash:)
Replacing the "echo" with the relevent gcc statement may work but isn't
