I don't understand. If they do this, they'll
work already when recompiled (with the patch
I sent), won't they?

If they don't do this, old binaries will
return EINVAL on the setsockopt() calls that
have changed. And if they're going to edit
the source, they can do #ifdefs as above and
work again.

How does it help to renumber? I can renumber,
of course-- I just don't see how that does
anything.
