Sorry, I didn't know that you had already taken care of the bug, and
thanks for the explanation!  I'm a bit confused, though, because we are
talking about a problem which only (IIRC) happens when compiling emacs
with newer versions of gcc, which provide stdalign.h themselves, and the
configure test actually succeeds.  Unfortunately, I can't test things
right now on FreeBSD.
