>Description:
From: toshii@alles.or.jp

src/sbin/route.c uses 4-byte alignment (u_int32_t) for routing socket.
however, src/sys/net/rtsock.c uses 8-byte alignment (long).
this causes alignment problem when we do routing socket operation on
Alpha boxes.

>How-To-Repeat:

# route add -inet6 3fff:dead:beef:1:: fe80:d::6:2bff:fe00:2385
writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
add net 3fff:dead:beef:1::: gateway fe80:d::6:2bff:fe00:2385: Network is unreach
able
# uname -srm
NetBSD 1.4I alpha

>Fix:
sync to the either side, but I have no idea which one is right.
