>Description:
/usr/include/sys/socket.h uses a macro called ALIGN (used by CMSG_DATA)
but never defines one nor an additional header is included
(<machine/param.h> has an ALIGN-macro).
This circumstance causes the compiler to assume ALIGN is a function
and the linker to fail.
>How-To-Repeat:
I hope the description makes it obvious :-)
>Fix:
Either give socket.h an own ALIGN-macro or include <machine/param.h> in
socket.h to use the ALIGN-macro of param.h. Or tell all the guys
using socket.h-functions to include <machine/param.h> first.
I prefer providing socket.h with an own macro, for example the one
from <machine/param.h>
