Unless something has changed recently, gcc has never supported alignment of 
local data, or code which requires it, in main().  main() aligns stack, 
subject to the options specified, for each function called.  Certain 
commercial compilers have supported alignment in the past only with the use 
of (non-portable) declspec.
