My apologies.  Its the only other use in the machine independent
code.  There are numbers of uses in the GCC backends.  However,
as each backend defines the meaning of FUNCTION_BOUNDARY as either
the architecture minimum or the preferred alignment, these uses
are safe as long as they are consistent.

Sorry for my earlier haste.

Does the IA-64 ABI really require all function entry points to be
16 byte aligned?
