Yes, without various checks it expands to
  (struct cmsghdr *)((char *)(cmsg) + \
  _ALIGN(((struct cmsghdr *)(cmsg))->cmsg_len))

Although there is no alignment problem (assuming cmsg is properly
aligned and _ALIGN is correct), this violates -Wcast-align. Therefore I
think an intermediate cast to void * would be appropriate here.
