As I read the documentation, that shouldn't be necessary.  I would expect
the preprocessor to define socklen_t as 32/64 depending on the value of
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.

It's up to the developer to set up his environment correctly for the
libraries he's using.  As long as the header file correctly describes the
library's ABI, the resulting executable will work without further magic
from the run-time linker.  

I don't know enough about symbol renaming to understand how that would
work.
