It seems that the point of using G_MEM_ALIGN is to ensure proper and most
efficient alignment on the current platform. I don't see a "Built using..."
line in your -v output to see: are you compiling with gcc? I found this page
about inadequacies of gcc on ia64 hardware:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ia64_floating_point. This Intel document talks about
memory alignment on ia64 in section 5.5:
http://download.intel.com/design/Itanium2/manuals/25111003.pdf. In the spirit
of the G_MEM_ALIGN macro, we should probably only perform this change when
necessary (compiling on ia64).
