I would respond with the statement that Linux is not Unix, but OS X is. There are many things in Linux that have been extended beyond the Unix definitions or otherwise go in a different direction. It appears that the abstract sockets code is one of these. Perhaps the real solution if you want to maintain compatibility is to use something that is actually common. Your code, right?
