Add -lsocket to XDRLIB in src/CMD/head.$ARCH

What's this G2DRIVER?

Seem to be.  Note: Seems that the CELL, PNGdriver have longer start-up
times than the XDRIVER.  So, sometimes I see d.mon report a failure to
select the monitor.  Running d.mon select=<driver> works fine.  Seems
there is not enough lag time in d.mon for the driver to get to the
listen state on the socket.  Perhaps a sleep(1) in d.mon will fix this...
