The problem only arises on Debian kFreeBSD (on bleadperl, 5.14, and 5.10).
It doesn't arise with plain FreeBSD. I'm guessing that the problem is
related to the __linux__ conditional at

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/cpan/Socket/Socket.xs#l710

I'd be grateful for any confirmation, and suggestions from people more
familiar with kFreeBSD for how to proceed.

Thanks,
Dominic.
