In fact we can not change it: some functions uses the define as
__ALIGNMENT_COUNT (3, 4) and some ports uses to correct select
the LOAD_ARGS_{3,4} in syscall generation (nios2).  Using 
parenthesis leads it to evaluate as LOAD_ARGS_(3) and this
issuing a build issue (this can be fixed I think, but it is
not the idea of this patch).
