I can't believe such a conversation even gets this far. :(

LOOK!

struct {
	int x;
	unsigned long long y;
};

This structure requires 64-bit alignment on 32-bit Sparc and
32-bit PPC and 32-bit MIPS and 32-bit ....

It is x86, and only x86, that has only a 32-bit alignment requirement
for this structure.
