The patch has now passed bootstrap and testing on i686, x86_64, ppc64,
sparc64, and ia64-linux.

The last failures that Jack Howarth mentioned elsewhere in this thread
were common to all i686 targets as I hadn't realized the MINIMUM_ALIGNMENT
hook could actually reduce the alignment of a variable.  Thus the full
difference between this and the most recently posted fragment is

-+      /* Make sure we're only increasing alignment.  */
-+      gcc_assert (DECL_ALIGN (decl) <= align);
++      /* One would think that we could assert that we're not decreasing
++       alignment here, but (at least) the i386 port does exactly this
++       via the MINIMUM_ALIGNMENT hook.  */

Ok?
