This will be quite strange idea. Tuning which reduces 2-4 times stack size
of userland application... hm... corporations spend years and millions $$
to reach such effect... should man page say "first at all, add the right
option to /etc/make.conf and rebuild the whole userland, because gcc
is written by morons and we are too lazy or stupid to remove their ugly
crap"?
Matt Dillon is right that the best variant is to exclude this
brain-damaged option at all. If gcc team wants to implement proper
alignment to work with SSE and other high-specialized stuff,
they should learn commands for bitwise AND, and use only where really needed.
