Very much not; firebird3.0 also has that now AFAICT, and now the static
asserts fail.

The alignment assumptions must be made explicit: change something like…

struct foo {
	char a;
	int b;
};

… to:

struct foo {
	char a;
	char padding1[3];
	int b;
};

not, like many before him, shrug and move on; instead, he took it upon
himself to start compiling things, just so he could compile his shell.
