Hummm. Does redboot provide BSD sockets? A kernel so i can use mutex,
per thread data? I think not. 

Quite a few of the functions inside the lib directory do not use
private interface. getserbyname, gethost, all the bootp stuff since it
uses ioctl, the tftp server and client code, inet_addr etc. Why is
this not in a generic package?
