I added this comment to the pull request:

* The leading null byte in sun_path (the "+ 1" when using it) indicates
an abstract socket (see unix(7)). If Hurd doesn't support those, it'll
need a separate block -- we shouldn't change the behavior for Linux/Cygwin.

* I don't think the unlink() will make sense with abstract sockets.

* Not necessary with this request, but it would be nice if we could have
./configure define semantic macros like HAVE_ABSTRACT_SOCKET or
something. Or at least #define them ourselves so we don't have to repeat
"defined(...) || ..." all the time.
