I'm not sure whether this is the preferred fix; in particular
I don't understand why those variables need to have forced
alignment in the first place ...
I think it needs more thought. Ada semantics on alignment are quite
complex. At first though, DECL_USER_ALIGN should either *always* be
set or *never* be set, but it's not clear which or even, yet, whether
that's correct or not.
I've started a discussion among the alignment experts in Ada.
