	This is very common in glibc.  They want the programmer to
include *only* <sys/socket.h>, and not <linux/socket.h>.  That way,
there won't be any conflict.  Doesn't `strace' work without including
<linux/socket.h>?

	Note:  I can't use `#if 0', because the kernel and utilities
very related to the kernel wouldn't compile.  I could use
`#ifndef _SYS_SOCKET_H', but IMHO that's too dirty.

	`strace' (and almost all the programs) should be able to
compile without including anything from ``linux/''.
