using multicast socket options

I am trying to port a UNIX multicast application to Win32 and the
GNU-Win32 development tools are of interest to me because of the
familiar environment they provide.
I have run into a problem with the setsockopt() call. Here is the
code fragment I am using.
if (setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP,
(char *)&mreq, sizeof(mreq)) < 0)
{
perror("IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP");
exit(1);
}
The problem is that this code compiles fine but produces a run-time
error of "This option is unsupported". Not being familiar with the
GNU compile tools, and the Win32 environment in general, I don't know
where this message is coming from. Is this a limitation of the
GNU-Win32 libraries? Is there something I can do to get multicast
support in my GNU-Win32 programs?
Thanks
