Bug description:
  SRU for wine1.4 follows:

  [IMPACT]

   * Users of specific Wine programs that use broadcast packets on the
  network have them not function

  [TESTCASE]

   * Run a Wine program that produces broadcast packets on a network
  interface

  [Regression Potential]

   * Possible consequences due to enabling support for this feature if
  users were unintentionally relying on it being disabled

  [Original report]

  #define IP_UNICAST_IF 50 from linux/in.h is needed for Wine to support
  binding to interfaces and support broadcast packets on that interface.
  It appears that bits/in.h is manually merged with this file and that
  it is inappropriate to include linux/in.h directly in user-space
  applications.
