Hi!
There are several g*dg/compat/ tests failing that show ABI
incompatibilities:

I have looked just at one failure, but maybe all of them are the same thing.
typedef char __attribute__((vector_size (16))) v16qi;
int i = __alignof__ (v16qi);
with GCC 4.0 sets i to 8 (s390{,x} have BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT 64), but
GCC 4.1 sets i to 16.
The changes that created this binary incompatibility are
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23467
I think. layout_type sets TYPE_ALIGN to 128 bits (size of v16qi)
and in 4.0 and earlier finalize_type_size used to decrease the size
to GET_MODE_ALIGNMENT (TImode), which is 64 on s390{,x}.
Was this change intentional? If yes, I think it should be documented in 4.1
release notes, but I still hope it wasn't intentional.
