supporting plain C with clang is all fine but to support clang with
asm optimizations clang first must support the feature set we require
for that and maintaining alignment is one of these.
I dont mind if people disable optimized code for clang or add such
workarounds conditional on the compiler being clang.
But iam against such workarounds being added as if it was a bugfix
because once clang will be fixed all these hacks would then be forgoten
without ifdef clang/buggy_whatever. And there are enough hacks in the
code that noone knows why they where added
