I tried what Peter Maydell did and here are the results:

typedef __darwin_size_t size_t;

char control[(((__darwin_size_t)((char *)(__darwin_size_t)(sizeof(struct 
cmsghdr)) + (sizeof(__uint32_t) - 1)) &~ (sizeof(__uint32_t) - 1)) + 
((__darwin_size_t)((char *)(__darwin_size_t)(sizeof(int) * 16) + 
(sizeof(__uint32_t) - 1)) &~ (sizeof(__uint32_t) - 1)))] = { 0 };

It looks like the problem was actually with this part: = { 0 };
