You mean with CURLOPT_LOCALPORT?

First, this problem is not unique for Windows (CE) but exists for all platform
and is one of the reasons I added CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE.

Then: no there's currently no way to make SO_REUSEADDR get set. I would like
to add a generic socket option callback, but the only patch I got for that was
never corrected and the submitter naver got back and I've not had much time
nor interest enough to write the code myself.
