The documentation mentions:
-falign-functions=n
"-fno-align-functions and -falign-functions=1 are equivalent and mean that
functions will not be aligned."
and
"If n is not specified or is zero, use a machine-dependent default."
But, it seems the semantics are reversed when using -fno-align-functions and
-falign-functions. In gcc/opts.c:handle_option, the value variable is set to 1
by default (for -f<flag> flags), and to 0 for -fno-<flag> flags. Sadly, this
should be reversed for falign-X flags: 1 should be used for -fno-align-X and 0
for -falign-X .
This affects -falign-functions, -falign-jumps, -falign-labels and
-falign-loops, and should be fairly easy to solve to flip the value of 'value'
in handle_option for the -falign-X flags.
