    _______________________________________________________

Details:

As suggested, the socket API in sockets.c has a macro to detect misaligned
socket addresses as so:

#define IS_SOCK_ADDR_ALIGNED(name) \
  ((((mem_ptr_t)(name)) % 4) == 0)

it seems it should be as so:

#define IS_SOCK_ADDR_ALIGNED(name) \
  ((((mem_ptr_t)(name)) % MEM_ALIGNMENT) == 0)

The effect is that my 16-bit system will not be able to allocate the sock addr
on a normal alignment for my architecture. While there are work-arounds with
arch.h, these induce tight-coupling to lwIP for my application code.
