PATCH:

[Lars Brinkhoff <lars at nocrew dot org>]

get_mode_alignment() in stor-layout.c forces the alignment, in bits,
to a power of two.  That works fine on 8/16/32-bit machines, but not
on, say, a 36-bit machine.  This patch makes the alignment be a power
of two in storage units, which makes no difference at all on machines
where the size, in bits, of a storage unit is a power of two.

Bootstrapped on powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu and checked without regressions.

	* stor-layout.c (get_mode_alignment): remove the restriction
	that machine mode sizes must be powers of two.
