We should do something like the following patch:

Maybe the following would be more correct:

+#define SCOREBOARD_ALIGN(size) APR_ALIGN((size),sizeof(void *))
+#define SIZE_OF_scoreboard     SCOREBOARD_ALIGN(sizeof(scoreboard))
+#define SIZE_OF_global_score   SCOREBOARD_ALIGN(sizeof(global_score))
+#define SIZE_OF_process_score  SCOREBOARD_ALIGN(sizeof(process_score))
+#define SIZE_OF_worker_score   SCOREBOARD_ALIGN(sizeof(worker_score))

since APR_ALIGN_DEFAULT seems to align to 8 bytes whatever the
platform requires...

Maybe some APR_ALIGN_NATIVE macro is missing in APR, like:
#define APR_ALIGN_NATIVE(size) APR_ALIGN((size), APR_SIZEOF_VOIDP)
but that's another story :)

I didn't yet have the time to reproduce and test your patch, but the APR_ALIGN((size),sizeof(void *)) align approach would not work. The problem here is that even or especially when building for 32 Bits and then using a 64 Bit data type, the alignment fails. So the pointer size would be 4 here, but the requirement alignment 8 bytes.

Fun with hardware.
