Yes, I see there are warnings about redefinitions of FD_SET etc. in <winsock2.h>.
But if I define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN, the header order doesn't seems
to matter.

False alarm; my compilation was picking up another 'struct timeval' from
another header listed in %INC. It was defined the "POSIX" way:
  struct {
         time_t  tv_sec;
         long  tv_usec;
       };

That caused 'struct bpf_hdr' to be 4 bytes off.
