This is not a new issue. In addition to this,
netinet/in.h also conflits with linux/in.h.
We might have
#if !defined(__GLIBC__) || !defined(_NETINET_IN_H)
:
#endif
around those conflicting definitions in uapi/linux/in{,6}.h.
This only solves half the problem, as <netinet/in.h> might be included
after <linux/in.h>. Also, not all Linux userland uses glibc.
