SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM for MIPS

Hi,
playing with OpenWRT 7.09 and uClibc 0.9.28.2 on MIPS architecture, I
have just found an interesting fact about uClibc.
In libc/sysdeps/linux/mips/bits/socket.h, SOCK_STREAM is defined as 2,
SOCK_DGRAM as 1. But in bits/socket.h for any other architectures e.g
alpha, sparc etc., SOCK_STREAM is 1 and SOCK_DGRAM is 2.
Why are they different like that? Is there any reason that the socket
constants should be defined differently only for MIPS architecture?
Cheers,
Dongsu
