Can you please provide a minimal reproducible sample? That is, can you
give an input file that, when compiled with gnulib's <sys/socket.h>, yields
an error? Also, please show the compiler command-line, and the error that
you get.

Among the first things I would try then is to see whether the error also
occurs on mingw.

I'm asking also because Ozkan Sezer blamed neon, not gnulib, for the error
you were seeing [1].
