Kris if you do not mind I'll write to hping developers to adopt this

As we're in a "the whole world is a Linux" situation, would it be
helpful to open a page on our wiki to enumerate differences like this,
that would help people write and port applications to FreeBSD? I know
the sort of advice given by Kris should be obvious to professional
developers, but history shows that it is not and that people rather
read blogs than manuals.
That's the reason I started to dislike Linux last few years - because
it's "defacto" standart in open source/unix like OS world,
and their dev team act very much like MS dev team :(
In the wiki there is a page about how to avoid "linuxism". I think we
have to mention this there.
It was the first place where I looked how to speed up hping. I think the
info about gettimeofday (and replacements)
and the ENOBUFS situation have to be explained little more there.
I do not expect developers, that write programs for linux to read the
FreeBSD wiki, but it will help people like me -
not very experienced in coding, to produce patches/ports without
bothering too much advanced developers :)
It will be good if there are some examples too.
