gc assertion failure under win32

[David Smith]

I don't know if it's related, but I got the same error while trying
to compile Kaffe with MSVC.  In that case it was because the
ALIGNMENT_OF_SIZE() macro aligned everything to 4 bytes while MSVC
aligned 8-byte values to 8 bytes.  This caused Kaffe to allocate too
little memory for some objects so that they continued in over the next
segment of the gc block.
