I searched a little and it seems that SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO are
supported since Linux 2.3.41. I think we can do something like that:
#ifdef SO_RCVTIMEO
setsockopt (...)
#endif
In that way, the biggest majority will have the socket timeouts, and
it doesn't break anything for the others.

I've read the comments under the bug #4143 and it seems that this
approach isn't welcome by the developpers of MySQL.
