44 is outside the range of errno values defined by DJGPP.  You can just 
add the definition fo ESOCKTNOSUPPORT without changing the existing 
values.

If the values that sockets use overlap and conflict with those defined in 
errno.h, I would suggest to write a wrapper around sockets calls that 
would translate the codes into DJGPP's values.

But I would imagine that most errno codes relevant for sockets aren't 
defined at all by DJGPP, so you could just add them.
