Part of the problem was that "long" is 4 bytes long and x86-64.h need
8 bytes long. I change it to "long long" and solve the alignment issue
but appear others. In some build "john --test" crashs and in other
"get_hash[0]" failed for all DES based formats but other formats
works.

This do not fix the issue. I will continue to try to fix it.
