wrt OS/2:  sock_init() is an OS/2 TCPIP public symbol, which is used in
the OS/2 os_init() (about line 2982 of socketmodule.c, as of yesterday).
This of course clashes with the sock_init() defined in socketmodule.c.

Even though the EMX port doesn't need the underlying sock_init(), EMX'
socket.h defines sock_init() for compatibility with VACPP.

Once the name clash is resolved, the module compiles and completes
test_socket with no problems.
