Solar,
I added ALIGN_FIX support in x86-64.S for Dhiru to try out (he has added
a mingw64 target now and NT crashes). But I don't quite get how it's
supposed to work:
#define DO_ALIGN(log) .align log; .space ALIGN_FIX
So if we get an unaligned address, 8 bytes space are added and we're
set. But what if we happened to get an aligned address in the first
place? Then we will *become* unaligned, no?
