Note that those compilation flags will break on older AIX machines or on
machines not running 64-bit (although I'm assuming there).

Well there's an easy answer to that problem ... just let me know if you want
an account on an AIX system.

Because os.h is included before any os header files, any definition of
SOCKLEN_T will conflict with that required by the os. SOCKLEN_T is used by
two include files in AIX ... /usr/include/netinet/in.h and
/usr/include/sys/socket.h (at least). The result is that defining SOCKLEN_T
in os-AIX.h results in screenfuls of somewhat inscrutable errors relating to
the os include files.
