I would like to keep the discussion in netperf-talk on the off-chance that 
someone else in the future might run into the same problem.

That is an exceedingly good question.   It may come-down to comparing the 
OpenSS7 modified older bits with the current netperf bits to see what they 
changed in detecting SCTP support.

None of my immediately available systems have SCTP on them for checking :(

That's something the openss7 support folks will have to weigh-in on.  It looks 
like they make some non-trivial changes to include files.
