--- Comment #3 from Benjamin Kramer <benny.kra at gmail.com> ---
The x86_64 ABI requires the stack to be aligned at a 16 byte boundary when
entering a function and the compiler is safe to assume the alignment. Is there
something wrong with your setup code before going into the function?

i686-linux is more complicated. GCC unilaterally changed the alignment
assumption a couple of years ago to 16 bytes and we're following that now to
avoid breaking compatibility with GCC. The ABI requires only 4 bytes of
alignment and that's why you'll see stack realignment code on windows or
FreeBSD/i686.
