I mean it would be useful to round up to the alignment for when you wanne have
an array of the structs, but I'm not sure this is actually required by the
standard. Do you have more justification for the alignment requirement on
structs containing FAMs?
I would argue the minimum "legal" amount to allocate is:
```C
max(
sizeof(struct S),
offsetof(struct S, fam) + count * sizeof(((struct S *)0)->fam[0])
)
```
