Would it be any easier to instead guarantee that even when #if
WITH_NETWORK is false, those same symbols are available as no-ops to
allow compilation to proceed?

That is, make networkAllocateActualDevice() be a no-op that returns 0 if
there is no network support compiled in, and therefore nothing to allocate.

Then again, if you are compiling --without-network, you don't want to
link against a library that won't be built.  That would imply that any
no-op stubs would have to be provided by static inline functions in the
header in the no-network case.
