After I wrote, I realized that I had been thinking about hppa64 too much.
The 32-bit PAhpux port for hpux is big-endian and it needs right justification
of structures which are less than or equal to 64 bits. function_arg-padding
currently works ok for structs <= 4 bytes but not for 5 to 7 bytes structs.
These currently end up left justified by GCC.
