They are mostly part of libc and therefor linked in by default.  Basically
you do not need these libs.  -lsocket is a lame SRV4 (i think) thing because
BSD sockets are simulated (poorly) via userland code.

If you get any unresolved symbols check the function's manpage, or
us 'nm' on the libraries in /usr/lib to locate it.
