That'll work right only on ports where __cmsg_alignbytes is no more
restrictive than sizeof(long).  Even if that's currently all ports, I
wouldn't want to count on it.

Make the global a pointer and allocate it at runtime (with eg malloc).
Unfortunately this is pretty much the only way.

Yes, the CMSG_* stuff is ugly and rather poorly thought out.  Things
like this are examples.
