Description

Context

Currently we always build the inet stack for the 'all' target of all libOSes because we build the unit tests, which depend on the inet stack.

Proposed Solution

Add a build target that excludes the inet stack.

Research direction

Start by locating the build configuration for the all target and the unit-test build definitions for each libOS. Trace why those tests pull in the inet stack, then verify that the new target builds other libOSes without it while preserving the existing all behavior.
