Test case

Compiling the attached test program with LLVM/clang results in bar, explicitly
marked for 128 byte alignment, not ending up 128-byte aligned.

Output on x86:
bar: 0x600a80
bar % 128: 0

Output on PowerPC:
bar: 0x1810870
bar % 128: 112

Output on PowerPC when compiled with gcc:
bar: 0x1810a80
bar % 128: 0

Declaration of bar from the produced LLVM IR:
@bar = common global [75 x i8] zeroinitializer, align 128 ; <[75 x i8]*>
