State-Changed-Why:
    This is indeed weird: 2.95 returns an alignment of 4,
    while subsequent compilers indicate 8 for long long:
    g/x> gcc x.c ; ./a.out
    12 16
    4 8 4
    g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.0.4/bin/gcc x.c ; ./a.out
    12 16
    4 8 8
    g/x>
    g/x>
    g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.2.2-pre/bin/gcc x.c ; ./a.out
    12 16
    4 8 8
    g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.3-pre/bin/gcc x.c ; ./a.out
    12 16
    4 8 8
    g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.4-pre/bin/gcc x.c ; ./a.out
    12 16
    4 8 8
    
    icc7 returns 4 as well:
    g/x> icc x.c ; ./a.out
    12 16
    4 8 4
    
    Do you know whether there are formal specifications for
    x86 linux (an ABI) dictating the correct alignment?
