	Complain to Fedora.

	There is no reason for production kernels to ever put out
	messages like this.  There is no reason for production C
	libraries to ever put out messages like this.

	This sort of message should only be used in pre-release
	OS development where you want to ensure, as a OS developer,
	that you have removed the old system call, library call
	etc. 

	As a third party developer there is no way we can remove
	the setsockopt() call as some Linux kernels depend upon
	it being made for correct operation.

	If the OS developer really does not want SO_BSDCOMPAT
	to be used they should remove the #define.  The code
	that uses it is protected by a #ifdef/#endif pair.

	Mark
