I don't have access to the POSIX specification - so I can't check. But
single unix (a superset of POSIX) includes sys/socket.h:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xnsix.html
Also, there is a lot of source code out there (I know at least two examples
from KDE sources) where they are including <sys/socket.h> and doing
-D_POSIX_SOURCE. Both Solaris and Linux handle the above situation
correctly. Are there any significant reasons why FreeBSD can't have the
same behavior ? Or are you applying the "don't fix it if it isn't broken"
principle ?
