Well OK, my question was very badly formulated. Let's try again:
won't modifications in scripts/ml.in only have effects at "the final
link" (ie when linking  ../trace/libmer_trace.a ../browser/libmer_browser.a
etc...) ?
And in that case trace/libmer_trace.a will be build without the socket library.

Indeed I've tried and that's what happened (and I wanted to make sure it was 
because I misunderstand the use of scripts/ml.in or not.)
