libc has "versioned symbols", and you're linking against the default
implementations of each of the three symbols, as defined in the version
of libc you built against (the "@@" notation means the default version
of a versioned symbol).
For detailed information on this, see:
http://people.redhat.com/drepper/dsohowto.pdf
and for the most detail, see:

Hope this helps
