say that the nodelen and servicelen are socklen_t, that isn't true for netbsd.

Are the ABI problems in changing this ?

 This looks like a bug or at least an inconsistency in SUSv3.
 node and service are strings, not sockaddr or so.
 RFC2553 says "size_t", as does every other OS I know.

 > Are the ABI problems

 Yes, on 64-bit systems.

 > in changing this ?

 I wouldn't bother.

 best regards
