I don't have any libsocket on my debian.
If you look at the man pages you'll find that the socket calls
connect, recv ... are kernel calls ( or the libc texinfo documentation)
In fact a socket is just a file descriptor, and so can be treated as a it
( eg you can use read/write on a socket)

To me "implicitly declared" means that you didn't include the right
files ( or forget to declare a function) : When the compiler see
function that hasn't been already declared, it declares it by itself
and put a warning.

I don't know solaris, but i believe after reading your mail
that include files and libraries are not the same on both systems.
