Quoth Tom Tromey on , 7 June:
: 
: I think it can easily be done with `__attribute__((aligned (8)))'.
: See the node `Variable Attributes' in the gcc manual.
: 
: Tony, could you try this?
: It ought to be a simple addition to DECLARE_PRIM_TYPE.

I tried attributing the declaration of java::lang::Class in Class.h in
this way, and it did not stick.  I have not tried to debug this.
Clearly it is not as easy to align types or objects as the documents
imply.  Simple declarations work, but complex ones fail me.
