Alignment issue on x86_64?

Hi all,

While trying to slim down my current code to a comprehensive test-case, 
I found out that my original bug can also be "fixed" by moving the 
"utils_atom_get_property" function inside the same source file as the 
one calling it.

I made a dozen git branches in my code to test various ways of building 
my code : static lib + program_LDFLAGS, static lib + program_LDADD, 
libtool helper lib + program_LDADD, one big executable. All of them fail 
identically.

Only moving the actual function code to the calling source file solves 
the bug.

So, would that make it a linker bug? Are there ways to make sure that 
gcc is not part of the problem?

Thanks to all of you for your answers, they're greatly appreciated :)
