Ok, so the following works:

struct x { int i; };
typedef struct x y __attribute__((aligned(1)));

void foo (void)
{
  struct x X;
  y Y;
  X = Y;
}

but we use SImode for y as well even though it's alignment is just one byte ...

Not sure what happens on strict-align targets for this and not sure how this
cannot be _not_ a problem.  Consider

void bar (struct x);

and

bar (Y);

or using y *Y and X = *Y or bar (*Y).

Incomplete have VOIDmode, right?

Ok, so given we seem to be fine in practive with TYPE_MODE (type) ==
TYPE_MODE (TYPE_CANONICAL (type))
(whether that's a but or not ...) I'm fine with re-instantiating the
mode check for
aggregate types.  Please do that with


Can we asses equal sizes when modes are non-BLKmode then?  Thus

   else if (TREE_CODE (inner_type) == OFFSET_TYPE
           && TREE_CODE (outer_type) == OFFSET_TYPE)

?  Hoping for VOIDmode incomplete case.
