Per lib/vsprintf.c, it expects either a sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6:

                 case 'S': {
                         const union {
                                 struct sockaddr         raw;
                                 struct sockaddr_in      v4;
                                 struct sockaddr_in6     v6;
                         } *sa = ptr;

sockaddr_in6 > sockaddr so ss should be declared accordingly.
