Or if you don't care about the alignment of the __data field at all:

#define _SS_MAXSIZE 128
#if ULONG_MAX > 0xffffffff
#define _ALIGNSIZE ((sizeof(__u64)))
#else
#define _ALIGNSIZE ((sizeof(__u32)))
#endif
struct sockaddr_storage {
	sa_family_t     ss_family;
	char            __data[_SS_MAXSIZE-sizeof(sa_family_t)*2 + _ALIGNSIZE];
} __attribute ((aligned(_ALIGNSIZE)));
