You are correct, those symbols are from CFNetwork which are not yet implemented 
on linux targets. CFStream is implemented but CFSocketStream is not implemented 
in swift-corelibs-foundation. It could be technically reasonable to port the 
open source (very old) CFNetwork to linux. However I am fairly certain that 
would take a bit of work to get up and running; especially the Security 
framework portions.
