The definition of ioctl(2) in musl is int ioctl (int, int, ...);, and this makes io.c fail to build on 64-bit musl environments with Clang/LLVM due to shorten-64-to-32 error.

A patch is attached for a workaround. It is expected to work with glibc, musl, bionic (Android), and uClibc (which defines __GLIBC__). I have no idea of other C libraries working on Linux.

Aside from this patch, it might be better if we could supply ./configure with the definition of ioctl_req_t using e.g. rb_cv_ioctl_req_t_convertible=....

Seems more concise.
Would you commit it by yourself?
