Summary: socketmodule.c doesn't compile on RH 5.

Initial Comment:
Python 2.1's socketmodule.c added support for AF_PACKET
sockets on Linux. Unfortunately, RedHat 5 machines have
the AF_PACKET define in /usr/include/linux/socket.h,
but they do not have /usr/include/netpacket/packet.h.
socketmodule.c tries to #include <netpacket/packet.h>,
so the build fails.

One work-around is to check for __GLIBC_MINOR__ >= 1
before supporting AF_PACKET in socketmodule.c. This
works for RedHat, but I don't know about other
distributions.
