This doesn't look very minimal at all to me; AFAICT, only one line of this
diff is related to the portability question:

@@ -248,7 +252,7 @@
             
             for (cmsg = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg); cmsg != NULL; cmsg = CMSG_NXTHDR(&msg,cmsg)) {
                 if (cmsg->cmsg_level == SOL_IP && cmsg->cmsg_type == IP_TTL) {
-                    *ret_ttl = *(uint8_t *) CMSG_DATA(cmsg);
+                    *ret_ttl = (uint8_t) ntohl(*(uint32_t*)CMSG_DATA(cmsg));
                     break;
                 }
             }

If this is really the only bit needed, can this be backported via t-p-u,
please?
