Fixing system headers will likely come after this lands. Code bases that can 
use it (e.g. Linux kernel) will pave the way. But yes, totally agreed: it 
cannot be default-enabled.

As for SOCK_MAXADDRLEN, that's a horrid hack, and the definition of `struct 
sockaddr` needs to change. :) The Linux kernel has played games like that 
before, but we've been removing them all for saner implementations (which is 
why `-fstrict-flex-arrays` is desired: flushing out any remaining weird spots).
