I installed this (and the incremental patch you sent on Sat).

I made a minor change -- function.c will provide a definition for
LOCAL_ALIGNMENT if the backend doesn't.  And the #ifdef LOCAL_ALIGNMENT #endif
pairs went away.

Thanks,

ps.  Now to wrap our heads around the best way to align the stack itself :-)
