You don’t have to. It wouldn’t be hard to write bindings for libc’s ‘sendmsg’ function, which does what you want. (Similarly, Guix has a bunch of wrappers for less common libc functions at <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/build/syscalls.scm>.) In parallel you can submit a patch to have ‘sendmsg’ bindings added to libguile proper. :-) Ludo’.
