Nothing that changes the solution, but for those who are curious:

4d9627bcadf8df4f8d68b97351ea3c348909d5db (libtorrent) seems to be the 
commit that broke things. This works fine on Linux+glibc because 
<netdb.h> includes <sys/socket.h> for socklen_t (which I'm surprised to 
learn is allowed by POSIX, even if it shouldn't be depended on).

Either way, good news is this has been reported upstream:
