Alternatively you could change IPPROTO_CARP in netinet/in.h to another

This sounds like a common use case. Perhaps there is motivation for
making the protocol number used by CARP a loader tunable?

No disrespect to anyone intended, just that CARP does duplicate the
functionality of VRRP.
It's worth reiterating that this is what happens when software patents
are allowed to creep in to the nuts and bolts of the operational
Internet -- and thus, CARP was born, and thus Tom runs into the issue he
has seen.
