Since those are all non-default build options, I suppose that the
checktcp target does have some reason to live: it's the only test
suite that will exercise TCP-related code paths in a minimal build.
(On non-Windows platforms, anyway.)
However, if nobody knows about it and no buildfarm animals test it,
that argument seems pretty hypothetical :-(
