... which causes the gcc compiled function to crash because it expects 16-byte
aligned stack (in gcc 4.4 at least with -fpmath=sse).

I'm told that older gcc's don't require (or set) 16, so just setting 16-byte
would break older ones.

This seems to be a good solution:
richi: well, just make sure outgoing stack boundary is always 16-byte and do
not assume anything about incoming stack alignemnt

Idea from aKor:
(12:37:18 PM) aKor: [13:32] aKor: edwin: but maintaining outgoing stack
boundary is certainly possible in "common cases"
(12:37:18 PM) aKor: [13:32] aKor: (without dynamic allocas)
(12:37:34 PM) aKor: this seems to be the best way wrt backward compatibility
stuff
