There are some __CC_ARM, __ARMCC__, and __arm__ macros in file
`ftconfig.h', and ARM assembler code is available also, so it has
definitely be used on ARM platforms.

This is obsolete code. Thanks for spotting it; I've just removed it
from the git repository.

Originally, this macro gave alignment in bytes, not in bits...
Can you help with debugging this issue?
