Building _socket fails (see below) although I tried to use

Any clue?
Hard to say, since you don't indicate what clues you are lacking.
In general, when the C compiler gives an error message, it is best
to try to understand the error message. The message reads
socketmodule.c:3350: `INET_ADDRSTRLEN' undeclared (first use this function)
This apparently refers to the line
char ip[INET_ADDRSTRLEN + 1];
which is part of the block
#ifdef ENABLE_IPV6
char ip[MAX(INET_ADDRSTRLEN, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN) + 1];
#else
char ip[INET_ADDRSTRLEN + 1];
#endif
So it appears that on your system, INET_ADDRSTRLEN is not defined,
even if it is supposed to be defined on all systems, regardless
of whether they support IPv6.
Looking at a more recent system in /usr/include, I get
/usr/include$ grep -r ADDRSTRLEN .
./netinet/in.h:#define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16
This is a clue, I think.
