socket libc backend misses recvmsg()

Are there any chances that the function will be implemented? Any 'when'?
If it's difficult why not to temporarily add recvmsg() that uses recvfrom().
Maybe ignoring msg_control field in msghdr struct. Something like this:

int recvmsg(int s, struct msghdr *msg, int flags)
{
  int i;
  int byteCnt;
  int ret;

  byteCnt = 0;
  for( i = 0 ; i < msg->msg_iovlen ; i++ )
  {
    if( ret = recvfrom( s,
                        msg->msg_iov[i].iov_base,
                        msg->msg_iov[i].iov_len,
                        flags,
                        (struct sockaddr *) msg->msg_name,
                        &(msg->msg_namelen) ) < 0 )
      return byteCnt;
    byteCnt += ret;
  }
  return byteCnt;
}
