SO_REUSEPORT - any workaround?

Is there a workaround for the absence of SO_REUSEPORT in Linux?

Thanks,

Use SO_REUSEADDR instead.

I am looking for the SO_REUSEPORT function
as well.

I am interested in have multiple listeners to UDP
broadcasts. Without SO_REUSEADDR I get a
bind error. With SO_REUSEADDR the second
server steals the UDP connection... The original
UDP server no longer receives any packets.
