It's a touch more convoluted than that. :-(

With OS X 10.2 and below, we need to typedef socklen_t. But with OS X 
10.3 and above, socklen_t is defined for us. The macro logic necessary 
for this can be seen in common/netio/pub/platform/unix/unix_net.h:

#if !defined _HPUX && !defined _AIX43 && (!defined _MAC_UNIX || ( 
defined(_MAC_UNIX) && ( !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3) || 
(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED < MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3) ) ) )
typedef unsigned int socklen_t;
#endif


(As an aside, for OS X 10.3 and above, use SYSTEM_ID macos-gcc3-xcode 
instead of macos-gcc3-pb.)
