Re: [patch, rfc] Semantics of attribute (aligned), misscompilation of crtstuff

[Zdenek Dvorak <rakdver at kam dot mff dot cuni dot cz>]

Hello,

as discussed in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-10/msg00771.html,
aligned(sizeof(func_ptr)) on variables specifies only that the alignment
must be at least that of sizeof(func_ptr), so crtstuff should not
rely on that the alignment of such a variable is not increased above
this bound.

This patch makes crtstuff work even if the alignment is increased, which
makes gcc bootstrap with vectorization enabled on ppc64-linux.  I have
also bootstrapped & regtested the patch on i686.

Zdenek

	PR regression/32582
	* crtstuff.c (__do_global_dtors_aux, __do_global_ctors_aux,
	__do_global_ctors): Ignore padding for alignment at the end of
	ctor/dtor lists.
