Not sure what to do about that, but I do read it as indicating that we
cannot put any faith in the compiler to honor such large alignment
demands.
I think we could work around it like this:
#if defined(__cplusplus) && defined(__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ <= 6
#define alignas(a) __attribute__((aligned(a)))
#endif
Hmm, yeah, their bug #70066 shows clearly that the __attribute__
spelling should work. But I think we'd better make the cutoff be
version 9 not version 6, because that same bug is quite clear
about when they fixed it. The lack of complaints from the buildfarm
may just indicate a lack of animals running the intermediate versions.
Ok, done that way.
