This is really odd. Linux is probably the one platform that curl gets
compiled on the most number of times...

My linux 2.4.16, glibc 2.1.X shows this:
% grep -c socklen_t /usr/include/sys/socket.h
10

To start with, dig up your config.log file that configure has created. If you
check the end of it, there should be a few tests regarding the socklen_t.
Paste them in a mail and post it all here.
