I just realized I had cc linked to a homebrew c compler on my system and
that's why Wall and Wextra weren't giving me the same warnings they were
giving you. Oops.
Anyway, I have put cc back to gcc, and I finally see the unused variable
warnings, and I cleaned them up.
Peter said on the previous reply to this that netcat only worked for him
when it was forced to IPv4, using the -4 option, so that may be the
issue you are facing with the program.
