I don't see the point of trying to get the LLVM type to have the same
alignment as the gcc type.  I think all the code that tries to obtain
equal alignment should just be dropped.  Who cares if the LLVM type has
a different alignment to the gcc type?  Surely all that matters is that
when we allocate a variable (alloca or global), if the gcc declaration
is more aligned than the LLVM type, then we should force the alloca/global
to have the gcc alignment.

Ciao,
