Port on AIX 32bit : unsigned int len; and __ulong32_t socklen_t

Hi,

On AIX, in:
  src/appl/simple/client/sim_client.c
  src/appl/simple/server/sim_server.c

the following definition works in 64bit but not in 32bit:
   unsigned int len;
  if (getsockname(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&c_sock, &len) < 0) {

This is due to:
  /opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0/6.3.0/include-fixed/sys/socket.h :
  int     getsockname(int, struct sockaddr *__restrict__, socklen_t *__restrict__);
  typedef __ulong32_t socklen_t;
and:
  /usr/include/inttypes.h
#ifdef __64BIT__
typedef unsigned int    __ulong32_t;
#else
typedef unsigned long   __ulong32_t;
#endif /* __64BIT__ */


I do not know what happens on Linux/x86_64 in 32bit.
I'm looking at Linux/x86_64 now, using krb5-1.15.1-8.fc26.spec.
However I think that it builds by default in 64bit.

Moreover:
  - /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/gcc-7.1.0/fixincludes/tests/base/sys/socket.h
          does not contain any definition for getsockname()
  - __ulong32_t does not seem to exist on Linux.

So: if krb5 on Linux is always built in 64bit, and never in 32bit, the issue does not appear.
However, maybe that, even in 32bit, the issue does not appear. Unless some # if __WORDSIZE == 64  is required ?

Anyway, here is my (simple) patch for AIX.

Cordialement,

Tony Reix
