Clang produces -Wcast-align and -Wsign-compare warnings when using
CMSG_NXTHDR:

./nettest.cpp:5:12: warning: cast from 'unsigned char *' to 'struct cmsghdr *' increases required alignment from 1 to 4 [-Wcast-align]
    return CMSG_NXTHDR(mhdr, cmsg);
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/usr/include/sys/socket.h:270:8: note: expanded from macro 'CMSG_NXTHDR'
        ? 0 : (struct cmsghdr *)__CMSG_NEXT(cmsg))
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./nettest.cpp:5:12: warning: comparison of integers of different signs: 'unsigned long' and 'long' [-Wsign-compare]
    return CMSG_NXTHDR(mhdr, cmsg);
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/usr/include/sys/socket.h:269:44: note: expanded from macro 'CMSG_NXTHDR'
        __CMSG_LEN(cmsg) + sizeof(struct cmsghdr) >= __MHDR_END(mhdr) - (unsigned char *)(cmsg) \
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 warnings generated.

Clang should really be hiding the warnings when the header is included from a
directory specified with -isystem, but it doesn't.  This has resulted in
patches to many projects work around the issue:
https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/commit/cfa3f070885482dc2f0c3e13fe70f20fad46e35e
https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/commit/cfb432a714457d2fd66a02fe7f1340094742ba69
https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/pull/6263
https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/pull/12520

It also occurs in the Android codebase in multiple projects.

It has come up on the mailing list multiple times:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2016/10/10/1
https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2018/03/06/4
https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2022/02/16/7

Pragmatically work around the clang bug by fixing the warnings, casting
through void * to avoid the -Wcast-align warning and casting to
size_t to avoid the -Wsign-compare warning.
