LSB was merely the umbrella bringing together a bunch of pre-existing standards
for use in Linux.  I believe the ABI in question was done in 1997.  Is it your
position that gcc predates this standard, and follows it in every aspect save
stack alignment by pure chance?  You are correct that I do not have all the
history of gcc at my fingertips, but I rather suspect you do not as well.
