Installed gcc 4.2.1. Discovered that we have 16-byte stack tax^Walignment enforced on us now. :(

Have you read comment #8 in the bug report where Paul Brook tells you 
how to get exactly the behavior you desire as well as the reason that

I know it's fun to attack the FSF, but they really have nothing to do 
with deciding which the stack alignment will be used for a particular ABI.
