Assume that accept4 is always available and works
Simplify the Linux accept4 implementation based on the assumption
that it is available in some way.  __ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SOCKETCALL was
previously unused, so remove it.

For ia64, the accept4 system call (and socket call) were backported
in kernel version 3.2.18.  Reflect this in the installation
instructions.

 If you are installing @theglibc{} on @gnulinuxsystems{}, you need to have
 the header files from a 3.2 or newer kernel around for reference.
+(For the ia64 architecture, you need version 3.2.18 or newer because this
+is the first version with support for the @code{accept4} system call.)
 These headers must be installed using @samp{make headers_install}; the
 headers present in the kernel source directory are not suitable for
 direct use by @theglibc{}.  You do not need to use that kernel, just have
