+Subject: [PATCH] libfdcore/sctp.c: update the old sctp api check
+
+The initial sctp api check for freediameter as below:
+ ===
+ commit d3c5e991cb532ea09684d69fb4d0d58e9bc39a0c
+  Author: Sebastien Decugis <sdecugis@freediameter.net>
+  Date:   Mon Jun 3 12:05:37 2013 +0800
+    
+    Add some compliancy to RFC6458. Not tested however as Ubuntu does not support this yet
+    
+    [snip]
+    +/* Use old draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket-17 API ? If not defined, RFC6458 API will be used */
+    +/* #define OLD_SCTP_SOCKET_API */
+    +
+    +/* Automatically fallback to old API if some of the new symbols are not defined */
+    +#if (!defined(SCTP_CONNECTX_4_ARGS) || (!defined(SCTP_RECVRCVINFO)) || (!defined(SCTP_SNDINFO)))
+    +# define OLD_SCTP_SOCKET_API
+    +#endif
+ ===
+
+SCTP_RECVRCVINFO is defined in <linux/sctp.h>,
+but <linux/sctp.h> is't included in the source code
+previouly. So defined(SCTP_RECVRCVINFO) can be 0 
+and it make old sctp socket api definiton in effect 
+as below:
+ # define OLD_SCTP_SOCKET_API
+
+After lksctp-tools upgrade to 1.0.18, there is below
+commit introduced:
+===

+
+    sctp.h: make use kernel UAPI header
+
+    and with that, remove tons of duplicated declarations. These were
+    lagging behind the kernel header, which is always the most updated one,
+    and as the library is intended to be run only on Linux, there is no
+    reason that we cannot re-use what is in there.
+
+    That said, this patch drops all duplicated declarations and includes
+    linux/sctp.h to bring them into lksctp-tools.

+ #include <stdint.h>
+ #include <linux/types.h>
+ #include <sys/socket.h>
++#include <linux/sctp.h>
+ [snip]
+===
+
+And above logic make defined(SCTP_RECVRCVINFO) to
+be 1 and the old sctp socket api macro as below
+won't be defined.
+ # define OLD_SCTP_SOCKET_API
+
+And it encouters below build error:
+| /build/freediameter/1.2.1-r0/freeDiameter-1.2.1/libfdcore/sctp.c:1262:9: error: 'SCTP_SEND_FAILED_EVENT' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'SCTP_SEND_FAILED'?
+    case SCTP_SEND_FAILED_EVENT:
+         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+         SCTP_SEND_FAILED
+| /build/freediameter/1.2.1-r0/freeDiameter-1.2.1/libfdcore/sctp.c:1262:9: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

+    case SCTP_NOTIFICATIONS_STOPPED_EVENT:
+
+Update the old sctp socket api check to fix
+the above build error.
