You're probably better off setting that to 4 - it is used to align
certain structures so that you don't take a hit for mis-aligned accesses
on some architectures (eg. on ARM without a kernel alignment trap
handler, you'll get a SIGBUS error).  I remember having to make a fix
for that inside KaffePro when we were cross-compiling.  I should check
to see if the Kaffe.org version needs the same fix.
