That's not obvious to me.  It shouldn't affect the ABI of any function in 
glibc, for example; it's not the sort of type you embed in other 
structures.  Increasing max_align_t to cover _Float128 (for 32-bit x86 as 
the sole affected case) is a question I left open in my GCC _FloatN / 
_FloatNx patch posting (not included in that patch, potentially relevant 
for a followup); that issue properly applies to _Decimal128 as well.
