As a rule we do not accept platform specific patches. There has to be a
very strong argument to go against that rule.

In cases like this (when you want to get something that is platform
specific on a socket) we recommend using the raw option that can be given
to inet:getopts/2. Or am I missing something and that is not applicable in
this case?
