No worries Scott.  Two other people have mentioned that libroot gets linked in 
by default so removing -lm is the right way to do it ( instead of changing it 
to -lroot ).  I was not sure if libroot got linked in or not.  Since libroot 
does, that means you are doing it the correct way.  :- )

Haiku already has symlinks for libnet, libbind, libsocket
libnet.so->libnetwork.so
libbind.so->libnetwork.so
libsocket.so->libnetwork.so

So, any configure script, which is run on Haiku, that looks for one of these 
should still work correctly. ( will redirect to libnetwork.so ).  ie: script 
can go unchanged and still work though the right way is to update it to use 
libnetwork on Haiku.
