That is NOT going to work. Not only did you change the only
member of the struct we use, you changed it into an array.

Something like this might do it:

#if SIZEOF_SOCKADDR_FAMILY == 1uint8_t        ss_family;
#elif SIZEOF_SOCKADDR_FAMILY == 2uint16_t    ss_family;
#else
#error unsupported sa_family size
#endif


And isn't this patch more for an other thread anyway?
