I found, that the ftp example program, when modified by setting the TCP_FASTOPEN flag, fails.
My working environment is Fedora Linux release 33, but I think that is also for other Linux variants.

With the current version (7.74), compiled with -g -Og, the same run fails earlier:

 curlftp --tcp-fastopen "ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxslt/libxslt-1.1.33.tar.gz"
*   Trying 91.121.203.120:21...
* Connected to xmlsoft.org () port 21 (#0)
< 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
* Send failure: Operation already in progress
* Closing connection 0

I don't see how TCP Fast Open will help for an FTP transfer so I would recommend you don't enable that, as a rather safe work-around.

I think we will disable that in our downstream library wrapper. See Julia: JuliaLang/Downloads.jl#76

The HAVE_LINUX_TCP_H constant was not set by cmake.
The variable has been used in some C-files in lib without including
neither linux/tcp.h nor netinet/tcp.h
That lead to inconsistent calls wrt. TCP_FASTOPEN
Data field conn->ip_addr_str was not set in case of tcp_fastopen,
but tried to be used later.

Fixes curl#6252

After this change, the PR no longer fixes curl#6252.
This original issue will be handled in a separate PR.

In the case of TFO, the remote host name is not resolved at the
connetion time.
For FTP that has lead to missing hostname for the secondary connection.
Therefore the name resolution is done at the time, when FTP requires it.

That was wrong, the commit only fixed #6262, this should rather be fixed by #6265 ...
