+ stddef: port to pre-C11 GCC on x86
+ On this platform, max_align_t should have an alignment of 8 even
+ though the storage alignments of double, long, etc. max out at 4.
+ Inspired by a comment of Andreas Schwab's here:
+ https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-04/msg00017.html
+ * lib/stddef.in.h (_GL_STDDEF_ALIGNAS) [!HAVE_MAX_ALIGN_T]: New macro.
+ (max_align_t) [!HAVE_MAX_ALIGN_T]: Use it.
+ * tests/test-stddef.c: Test __alignof__ too, if available.
