Thanks, that's helpful ! Indeed, the only two entries needed from 
SUNWpublic from
all the binaries are libsocket and libnsl functions, e.g.

# pvs -vs /usr/local/texlive/2024/bin/x86_64-solaris/pdflatex

        libc.so.1 (SUNWpublic):
                 __xnet_connect;
                 __xnet_socket;
