AFAICT there is an upstream bugreport for implementing IP_FREEBIND:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58725
This seems to have already been implemented, at least in 2.5/trunk:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mpm_common.html#listen
Since this bug only occurs when the user specifies an IP address to listen on, our default config is not affected AFAIU.
So the easiest way to fix this bug is to wait and maybe add a comment before the default 'Listen' directives to add the freebind option when changing the 'Listen' to a specific IP address.
This can only be done once we package a release containing that option, though.
In the meantime the only workaround seems to be to wait for the network-online.target but since this is not necessary for the stock config, I don’t really want to do that.
