Hi Colin,

  Make libxnet.so a symlink to libc.so.  This makes `-lxnet` a no-op, as
  POSIX requires for the c99 compiler.

I seem to remember I had some issues in the past where I was linking
against libc explicitly. Maybe it had something to do with linking
both against -lpthread and -lc, but if you pass in -lc later on the
command line, libc overrides the symbols that have to be provided by
-lpthread?

If that's (still) the case, would it make sense to just provide
libxnet in the form of an empty .a file instead?

I think that's a good point.  Using -lanything shouldn't introduce an
unexpected link order.
