That is not possible. inet uses gethostent() etc, which is not a kernel
call.

To remove the dependency on Libc, use the netdb unit. It has the same
functionality as inet, but you don't depend on the C library at all: It is
written in pascal. 

Unless you use libc somewhere else in your code as well, this should solve
your problem.
