clang issues:
svc_unix.c:318:18: error: field 'cmsg' with variable sized type 'struct cmsghdr' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU extension [-Werror,-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end]
318 | struct cmsghdr cmsg;
| ^
The __msgread explicitly expects that 'struct ucred' is after the 'cmsg',
so suppress the warning.
