There are socket libraries for DJGPP - see a subsection of section 22 of
the DJGPP FAQ for a list. They either work under DOS with packet drivers
or under Windows using Windows's device drivers. AFAIK none work under
both DOS and Windows.

libsocket is one such socket library - see v2tk/ls080[bsd].zip and
http://libsocket.tsx.org/ . I used to maintain it, but it's not maintained
any more (I don't have time).

It might be better to see why GNU pth requires sys/socket.h. Then you
could provide it with a skeleton include file, to satisfy its
requirements.

I don't know about the GNU Common C++ library. I haven't heard it
mentioned in this newsgroup before.

HTH, bye,
