This test for gethostbyname, failed so configure tried again with -lnsl:

That succeeded, so it added -lnsl to the list of libraries to link against.
It then tested for the connecte() call:

This failed, so it tried again with -lsocket.

This failed again, and with no backup plan, configure failed.

You need to find why connect can't be linked like this on this box, and come
up with a strategy to make it work.
