It seems the fact that G_MEM_ALIGN is not necessarily adequate was discussed
long ago:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2004-December/msg00091.html

but unfortunately it seems nothing came of that.

I'd tend to agree with the suggestion in there: use a better alignment (only)
when necessary (when compiling 32-bit on a CPU that requires 64-bit alignment
for some things).  (If we're compiling 64-bit then G_MEM_ALIGN is set to 8
anyway.)

Note to self: it's not just SPARC that would require such alignment.
