--- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The Common Variable Attributes section of the manual mentions the following:
When used as part of a typedef, the aligned attribute can both increase and
decrease alignment, and specifying the packed attribute generates a warning.
There is at least one test in the GCC test suite that exercises the ability to
decrease the alignment of a typedef (gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/misaligned-expand-2.c
added in r185336) so this is a documentation bug for not documenting the
feature in the right section of the manual (Common Type Attributes).
Confirming based bug 51628, comment #24.
