OK, got a working patch. It's not easy to make it both portable (only
define _GNU_SOURCE if __GLIBC__ is defined) and pinpointed (only used for
sys/socket.h), since sys/socket.h is transitively included by countless
other standard headers. I have played around with it for an hour, and
finally gave up and just applied this rather blunt one:
