building on commit 97d35a552e,
__BYTE_ORDER is now available wherever alltypes.h is included.
endian.h should not be used since, in the future, it will expose
identifiers that are not in the reserved namespace for the headers
which were previously using it.
new fields for RFC 4898 tcp stats in linux
tcpi_bytes_sent added in commit ba113c3aa79a7f941ac162d05a3620bdc985c58d
tcpi_bytes_retrans added in commit fb31c9b9f6c85b1bad569ecedbde78d9e37cd87b
tcpi_dsack_dups added in commit 7e10b6554ff2ce7f86d5d3eec3af5db8db482caa
tcpi_reord_seen added in commit 7ec65372ca534217b53fd208500cf7aac223a383
The new fields change the size of a public struct and thus an ABI break,
but this is how the getsockopt TCP_INFO api is designed: the tcp_info
type must only be used with a length parameter in extern interfaces.
add packet delivery info to tcp_info,

placing the opening brace on the same line as the struct keyword/tag
is the style I prefer and seems to be the prevailing practice in more
recent additions.
these changes were generated by the command:
find include/ arch/*/bits -name '*.h' \
-exec sed -i '/^struct [^;{]*$/{N;s/\n/ /;}' {} +
and subsequently checked by hand to ensure that the regex did not pick
up any false positives.

Add new tcpi_* fields to struct tcp_info implementing RFC4898 counters.
linux commit 2efd055c53c06b7e89c167c98069bab9afce7e59
Programs such as iptables depend on these constants, which can also
be found defined in other libcs.
Since only TCP_* is reserved as part of tcp.h's namespace, we hide
them behind _BSD_SOURCE (and therefore _DEFAULT_SOURCE) to expose
them by default, but keep it standard conforming.
there are two versions of this structure: the BSD version and the GNU
version. previously only the GNU version was supported. the only way
to support both simultaneously is with an anonymous union, which was a
nonstandard extension prior to C11, so some effort is made to avoid
breakage with compilers which do not support anonymous unions.
this commit is based on a patch by Timo Teräs, but with some changes.
in particular, the GNU version of the structure is not exposed unless
_GNU_SOURCE is defined; this both avoids namespace pollution and
dependency on anonymous unions in the default feature profile.
the BSD and GNU versions of this structure differ, so exposing it in
the default _BSD_SOURCE profile is possibly problematic. both versions
could be simultaneously supported with anonymous unions if needed in
the future, but for now, just omitting it except under _GNU_SOURCE
should be safe.
alternatively, we could define it in sys/socket.h since SO* is
reserved there, and tcp.h includes sys/socket.h in extensions mode.
note that SOL_TCP is simply wrong and it's only here for compatibility
with broken applications. the correct argument to pass for setting TCP
socket options is IPPROTO_TCP, which of course has the same value as
SOL_TCP but works everywhere.
the old behavior of exposing nothing except plain ISO C can be
obtained by defining __STRICT_ANSI__ or using a compiler option (such
as -std=c99) that predefines it. the new default featureset is POSIX
with XSI plus _BSD_SOURCE. any explicit feature test macros will
inhibit the default.
installation docs have also been updated to reflect this change.
