I don't know.

You need to define a criterion for when a question is frequent enough
to be a candidate for inclusion.  The criterion for the full FAQ is
quite liberal: usually, a question that is asked more than 5 times
eventually gets into the FAQ.  You want to lift that ramp quite a bit,
or else you'd need to rename the ``short FAQ'' to a ``long FAQ'' ;-)

As for this specific question, the frequent variant is why Hello world
program is so large.  I have never before seen a question about
libsocket programs being large.
