Hmm, seems they are both coming from sys/socket.h:

Tests with my v2 patch applied:
progs/bind4_prog.c:15: error: "AF_INET" redefined [-Werror]
   15 | #define AF_INET nonsense

                 from progs/bind4_prog.c:9:

      |

So I guess the problematic header is netinet/tcp.h and sys/socket.h is
just a redundant include?

Removing just netinet/tcp.h does appear sufficient to fix the issue.

I'm still working through gcc issues with the test suite so there's
probably some cases I haven't identified yet but this is the only one
that seemed to need any code changes when removing those 2
headers that I've found so far:
