No, it doesn't actually. The function returns 0, but GNU/Linux doesn't
actually do anything, one actually has to unlink the old socket by hand
to be able to reuse the path.

It just doesn't implement it. See for instance (in Python to make it
simpler):
#!/usr/bin/python3
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM, 0)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
s.bind("/tmp/foo")
s.close()
Try to run that twice on Linux, it'll fail.
Really, SO_REUSEADDR on local sockets doesn't make sense, it should just
not be called on local sockets.
