Correct.  This means we _cannot_ lower the alignment for
functions that implement C++ virtual methods.  And there
is no way to distinguish these from plain C functions at
the level requested.

So for now, you're stuck.

Any patch to fix this is probably going to be invasive,
therefore I will not raise the priority for 3.1.1.
