Hmmm... this seemed to generate a 124-byte struct instead of the stated
intent of 128.


Maybe instead:

#define _SS_MAXSIZE 128
#if ULONG_MAX > 0xffffffff
#define __ss_aligntype      __u64
#else
#define __ss_aligntype      __u32
#endif
#define _ALIGNSIZE (sizeof(__ss_aligntype))
struct sockaddr_storage {
        sa_family_t     ss_family;
        __ss_aligntype  __data[_SS_MAXSIZE/_ALIGNSIZE-1] __attribute__
((aligned(_ALIGNSIZE)));
} __attribute ((aligned(_ALIGNSIZE)));



Align the struct on _ALIGNSIZE; align _data on _ALIGNSIZE to to generate
padding between ss_family and __data.
