Synopsis: alignment of long long in struct seems to be wrong
State-Changed-From-To: feedback->closed

State-Changed-Why:
Not a bug. The x86 svr4 abi specifies that the maximum alignment
of data in a structure is 4. The *preferred* alignment is
8, so that's what __alignof returns.
There is a modification of this rule for MMX and SSE data
types, in that they really require 8 and 16 byte alignment
respectively; in this change we follow the Intel compiler.
