void* is used to align to 32-bits or 64-bits on 32 and 64 bits archs. The pure-capability ABI breaks this assumption as the pointer size is different than the word size, which is where the alignment requirement comes from. Indeed, the pointer size, and so void *, is now 16 bytes whereas the expected alignment is still 8 bytes, as it is a different ABI but for a 64-bit arch.
Change it to an unsigned long. Musl uses the same type for its definition of struct sockaddr_storage.
