based on a patch from Atsushi Nemoto:

There is a mismatch of struct msghdr between the kernel and libc.
In a 64-bit environment, the size of msg_namelen is 4 for all, but
the size of msg_iovlen and msg_controllen is 8 bytes for the kernel
and for glibc, but 4 bytes for uClibc.  Fix size for the 64bit case.
