Eh, this is a requirement of the amd64 ABI.  Any compiler that *doesn't*
align the stack on 16-byte boundaries is basically broken.  Or are you
experiencing this on i386?  Even there, 16-byte alignment would be much
better in combination with SSE instructions (which arent' enabled by
default, btw).

Note that you would get the same issue with newer versions of gcc, which
will also assume this alignment.
