If I had to come up with a list of ten things that "strict-align" means, I don't think "make operator new take an alignment argument" would be on it at all.  Since this feature has been implemented in precisely one previous vendor-specific frontend, I think it's worthwhile to establish a better precedent.

I support the proposal as this option has additional impact in 
ppu-lv2-gcc - it enforces alignment on the stack. Clang seem to have no 
problems with data alignment on the stack and the option affect only 
allocation/deallocation functions.
