Hi Colin,

First of all: I Am Not A Linker Expert.

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?
