This function was changed in several places and meaning of
'size_needed' and 'epilogue_size_needed' could've been changed. It
needs more careful examination and I'll do it shortly.
Briefly, I significantly changed prologue and epilogue generation
routines and that obviously caused that regression. I guess that in
some of these function I began to look at size_needed instead of
desired_align (usually, size_needed >= desired_align, but for pentium
pro that's not true). I hope to dig into it on the weekend.
Thanks for reporting and investigation.
