No, at least it isn't just a configure issue. You need some kind of in-
L4Linux-kernel TCP/IP stub talking to Flips via IPC. This stub is at
least missing. Well, we have a library that provides a POSIX socket
interface (talking via IPC to Flips) designed for L4 user applications.
Probably such a kernel stub can reuse it. However some engineering
effort in L4Linux would be required ...
