No, there's no other sensible way. The macro is there (instead of using
_get_osfhandle directly) because the code on which I based lib/winsock.c
was wrapping all socket functions, independent of whether Mingw was the
underlying runtime.
For the record, the reason for that was to work around the presence or
lack of the sa_len member of struct sockaddr. That's another wart that
gnulib could work around; but it's only important for Unix sockets if
applications only use getaddrinfo to build socket addresses.
BTW, are there platforms with sa_len (typically BSD systems) and without
getaddrinfo? If so, something like this would be needed:
