As I see those are at least partially broken. setsockopt() is defined to
use a 'level' argument, and there's a protocol independent level, which
is called SOL_SOCKET, this macro is defined on those platforms as well.

I don't think it is consistent to use SOL_SOCKET for socket level
operations, and IPPROTO_* for non-socket operations. 

Not to mention that IPPROTO_IPV6 as a name suggests the IPv6 is a
subprotocol of IP itself, which is IPv4. This is certainly not true.

Linux supports the IPX protocol through the same socket interface, in
this case I would use SOL_IPX

So as I see those are the platforms that lack proper naming for the
setsockopt level argument. :)
