+On AIX, 32-bit Darwin, and 64-bit PowerPC GNU/Linux, the option
@option{-malign-natural} overrides the ABI-defined alignment of larger
types, such as floating-point doubles, on their natural size-based boundary.
The option @option{-malign-power} instructs GCC to follow the ABI-specified
alignment rules. GCC defaults to the standard alignment defined in the ABI@.
+On 64-bit Darwin, natural alignment is the default, and @option{-malign-power}
