Comment:

 Jeff, a global is no good. Please create a larger variable on the stack
 yourself and align a pointer into it and call it out. Something like "int
 x[16+4]; int *out=((&x+15)&~0xf);" but of course tested. Also a comment
 should reference the gcc bug report # for the fix, or at least the version
 it was fixed in.

 PS I believe all versions of gcc actually do successfully give you 8 byte
 alignment; you could use that to make x smaller...
