I don't quite understand this from the strace, but it looks like
there's an issue with the size of cmsg structures on 64-bit machines
due to another buggy kernel socklen_t/size_t mismatch. I'm not sure
how it can be worked around, but musl's failure to work around it is a
flaw that needs to be fixed. glibc just violates POSIX and defines
the wrong type.
