Again my approach was to be as conservative as possible to avoid
side effects for other architectures/projects.
Your "port" patch for Debian adds a specific lwipopts.h file and two
'external headers': posix/inet.h, posix/sockets.h
Your lwipopts.h is significantly different from that in contrib/port/unix/lib
and the include files are not in the lwip source tree, thus the idea to add
a specific linux lib directory under the unix port.
Maybe you have a better view and knowledge of the projects using
the unix/lib code and you can see that it is safe to merge/update the code of
the unix library.
I vote for a new library, it is a surely safe choice. If the name linuxlib is
misleading we can call it debianlib or posixlib (one main point
is that the new lib uses posix compatible socket definitions).
The code needed for the new lib is just:
CMakeLists + lwipopts.h + posix/inet.h + posix/sockets.h
posixlib sounds good to me. I forgot to mention: I don't mind changing the
license to BSD to make the patches upstream.
In the new patch here attached:
* the name of the lib is "posixlib"
* the license of the three header files is BSD
