>Description:
Applications using libio.h (f. eks.) cannot be 
compiled with "-malign-double" egcs switch. If it does, the
size of struct _IO_FILE changes, and the application
crashes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Example:
----------
#include <libio.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
 
 printf("sizeof(struct _IO_FILE) = %3d\n", sizeof(struct _IO_FILE));
  return 0;
}
-----------

The program above yields different result
compiled with -m{no-}align-double
