Mea culpa! Mea magna culpa!

You are entierly right! I forgot to add this object for the case of netowrek compilation. The main point of the patch is simply that all the symbols from the objects: dst.o neighbour.o, are never used on a system compiled with disabled networking facilities.

The patch should read correctly as: (just added dst.o to the compilation list in case of networked code)
