The problem with your fix is that the size of the structure is used in
the code and there are also changes required.

When looking at the code to avoid the warning I realized that the
supported address types parameters will have a wrong length if
the kernel is build with either INET or INET6, but not both.

I've committed a fix in
http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/228031
