Ask the people who compile software like trn,pine,lynx,kermit ect,ect,ect
under linux using GCC.
And just how would including/intergrating a networking library like
yours or Watt32 into DJGPP add any code whatsoever to libc?
All that would really happening is making sure that the DJGPP version
of Watt32 and other various BSD-compat networking libs for DJGPP have been
properly configured to make sure they work with DJGPP out of the box so to
speak when compiling programs that call/look for things like netbd.h,
sockets.h, in.h and types.h.
