--- cut here ---
#include <sys/socket.h>
int getsockname(int, struct sockaddr *, socklen_t *);
int x() {return 0;}

If your compiler insists on size_t instead of socklen_t, this will fail with
an error.
My test (since linux doesn't care):
test.c:
extern int x(int);
extern int x(long);
% gcc -c test.c
~
test.c:3: conflicting types for `x'
test.c:1: previous declaration of `x'
% echo $?
~
1
Enjoy.
