Allow using CMSG_NXTHDR with -Wcast-align. If various checks are omitted, the CMSG_NXTHDR macro expands to (struct cmsghdr *)((char *)(cmsg) + \ _ALIGN(((struct cmsghdr *)(cmsg))->cmsg_len)) Although there is no alignment problem (assuming cmsg is properly aligned and _ALIGN is correct), this violates -Wcast-align on strict-alignment architectures. Therefore an intermediate cast to void * is appropriate here. There is no workaround other than not using -Wcast-align.
