I looked at the sockopt.c.diff patch briefly last night on my free time. 
It is a quick and dirty bandaid by the looks of it which just munges the 
socket options. It may "work for you", I haven't tested it as I don't 
run Quagga.

BTW: The RFC 1724 hack was never actually documented, so code which 
relies on it is buggy and needs to be fixed. I published a patch for 
routed here nearly 18 months ago, which is probably where Quagga picked 
up the hack from.
