This is because the 7.x compilers need a
#define _BSD_TYPES
in order to define u_int (among other things).
socketmodule.c also fails with various errors, and I'm still looking
into it (from time to time, whenever I can).
These can be fixed easily locally, but I'm trying to find a more generic
patch (I'm trying to follow the configure logic) in order to accomodate
with the pecularities of MIPSPro (the key is /usr/include/standards.h...
all these _XOPEN4, _XOPEN5, _XPG, _BSD, _SGI_SOURCE ifdef chains...)
