That's because it's not in /usr/src. It's in /usr/include/sys.

The reason this is a hard question to answer is because I wasn't being
specific enough, I think.  I'm tempted to ask, which *kind* of bind()
are you asking for? ipv4? ipv6?  The "actual" bind() call isn't
implemented once- it's implemented once for each family of networks
that linux suupports, because not all networks behave the same.
