Not anything that is currently supported. If I can think of one, there
my be others I don't know about. The point is, why pull out
a good test just because most current systems define socklen_t?
But to answer your question, I was thinking of OpenServer 5. If I remember
corretly, none of the UnixWare versions prior to 7.1.4 defined socklen_t.
Again not currently supported (and not currently shipping systems). It has
been on my TODO list for a while to get NUT working on UnixWare 7.1.4.
If I get that done, there will likley be people on 7.1.3 or OpenUNIX 8.0.0
that will want NUT working there too.
