Actually the line in question is:

static unsigned long long int __attribute__((aligned(8))) x_plus_minus_3dnow 
=0x8000000000000000ULL;

So it looks like C-style compiler directives, aren't those on byte boundaries 
anyway? Also, 0x80000...0ULL is only four bytes long. Out of curiosity, why 
is it trying to align on 8 bytes? Is there some kind of packed doubleword 
thing going on? :) Point me at a URL, I'll go away, promise. :)
