I guess we have to emulate Solaris to pass these, even if I think
the Solaris behaviour is a bit bad.

I'll see if I can try this tomorrow; it *should* work for the applications
I'm worried about since those are all using TCP sockets only.  Please
update the comment to say why the "bug-compatibility" is there.

Something like:

  /*
   * On Solaris, SO_REUSEADDR will allow multiple datagram
   * sockets to bind to the same port.  The network jck tests
   * for this "feature", so we need to emulate it by turning on
   * SO_REUSEPORT as well for that combination.
