Well, I just have and ping, traceroute and nslookup are linked against
libnet.so. Many others will be, too, especially since the Be-provided gccs
did come with linker specs that included '-lnet'.
Is that a problem (does BONE use the new API)? Anyway, I get the feeling that
I haven't yet understood the exact problem that needs to be solved here...
