setsockopt() and SO_RCVTIMEO (2.1.21)

I am having trouble using the SO_RCVTIMEO option at the socket layer with
setsockopt(2). I am using kernel 2.1.21. The error I recieve,
ENOPROTOPT, is apparently originating at ../src/linux/net/core/sock.c in
sock_setsockopt().

Does anyone know a way around this? Could I perhaps set the timeout at
the TCP layer instead? Should I expect this option to be supported in the
kernel anytime soon?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.
