 Hi... i was installing several applications (php,xmms,etc) on my
 FreeBSD 4.4 server and i got the next message a lot of times when
 i was compiling:

/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3: warning: mktemp() possibly used unsafely;
consider using mkstemp()
/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3: warning: tmpnam() possibly used unsafely;
consider using mkstemp()
/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3: warning: this program uses gets(), which is
unsafe.
/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3: WARNING!  setkey(3) not present in the system!
/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3: WARNING!  des_setkey(3) not present in the

/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3: WARNING!  encrypt(3) not present in the system!
/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3: WARNING!  des_cipher(3) not present in the
system!
/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3: warning: this program uses f_prealloc(), which
is not recommended.

 I want to fix this... what i can do?
 Thanks for any help.
