(This is an ABI divergence between GCC and Clang, which as far as I know the psABI owners have so far not succeeded in resolving.)

And while GCC indeed never changes the size (that is: it never introduces padding), it, too, increases the alignment when the size was already appropriately-aligned.

That is, given `struct A { char c[4]; };`, `struct A` has size 4 and align 1, but `_Atomic struct A` has size 4 and align 4, under //both// GCC and Clang.
