Actually it is not completely an Applix issue. The problem is that a shared
library in FreeBSD doesn't contain information about what lic.so.x it has been
linked with. Thus, rtld picks whatever C library the main executable has been
linked with and there is no gurantee that those two are equal (i.e. the
executable may be linked with libc.so.3, while library with libc.so.4, but rtld
will use libc.so.3 for both).

To workaround this particular situation you can compile a small shared object
with missed function and link it using LD_PRELOAD, i.e.

$ cc -shared -fPIC -DPIC -o /usr/lib/getresuid.so getresuid.c
$ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/getresuid.so
$ applix
