Yes. 64-bit S/390 requires 2-byte alignment. The alignment can
be 2 or anything stricter than 2 for 64-bit S/390. GNU Ada currently is
setting USER_ALIGN to 1 for some objects, which is breaking GNU Ada on
64-bit S/390.

This would be a new macro, or result of querying an existing macro
with a test alignment of 1 byte to examine what modification to that
alignment a GCC port currently produces.
