The Linux ABI has never required 16 bytes, except maybe on paper. The fact is
that there are many apps out there, Wine among them, that don't align to 16
bytes. Even if Wine starts forcing alignment today, there's nothing we can do
about all the existing binaries. I don't understand how it can be considered
acceptable to break backwards compatibility that way.
