Hi Paul, Thanks for the update.

It was here: <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-10/msg00300.html> With this patch, the crashes on FreeBSD 6.4 and Cygwin 1.5.25 are gone. MSVC 9 works fine as well. But two failures remain: 1) On mingw of 2009, the test fails test-stdalign.c:81: assertion failed FAIL: test-stdalign.exe 2) On Solaris 10 (both SPARC and i386) with cc, the test fails: test-stdalign.c:81: assertion failed FAIL: test-stdalign Can you reproduce this?
