Thanks for doing this work Mathieu.

This is really bizarre. Does it only happen on x86_64?
I'm wondering if GCC does something bizarre like work with different
default alignments based upon the section or something like that.
If so, maybe adding the section attribute to the array definition will
"fix" things?

Do any of these datastructures have, or will have, "u64" or "long
long" types in them? If so, then we will need to use "8"
unconditionally or "__alignof__(long long)".
I'll see if I can work out why using no align directive explodes
on x86-64.
