Setting GMC_ALIGN to 8 failed as before. Setting it to 16 (the same value
as BUFFER_ALIGN in include/parrot/headers.h at least allowed it to build.
It still fails lots of tests, however:

4 tests and 76 subtests skipped.
Failed 18/163 test scripts, 88.96% okay. 164/2718 subtests failed, 93.97%
okay.
15 of those subtests were failing anyway even without your patch, but
the remaining failures are new, I think.
I have no time to investigate further, but I think there's a still some other
problem that's now getting masked. An alignment of 8 should have been
sufficent.
Or, it may be that the GMC_ALIGN and BUFFER_ALIGN need to be the same.
