If by portability you mean "across systems" and not "STREAM vs DGRAM", it
looks like Nmap uses setsockopt (without #ifdef or anything) for setting
SO_LINGER, and for IP_HDRINCL (like my patch with #ifdef) among others.

Or maybe you meant setsockopt options rather than the actual call?

Either way I hope you can easily use setsockopt to enable traceroute with
connect() scans because that'd be cool :)

Thanks,
