SO_ORIGINAL_DST is defined in linux kernel header, not glibc header.

The provided patch defines SO_ORIGINAL_DST as 80 in ext/socket/rubysocket.h.

There are several options:

• define the constant in Ruby as the patch.
  This add (one) more magic number in Ruby
• include linux kernel headers.
  It may conflict with glibc headers
• define the constant in application as
  Socket::SO_ORIGINAL_DST = 80

I didn't know SO_ORIGINAL_DST is not defined in libc headers.
In this case, I'd suggest defining the constant in your application.
