dnl @synopsis AX_GCC_ALIGNS_STACK([ACTION-IF-YES], [ACTION-IF-NO]) dnl @summary check whether gcc can align stack to 8-byte boundary dnl @category Misc dnl dnl Check to see if we are using a version of gcc that aligns the stack dnl (true in gcc-2.95+, which have the -mpreferred-stack-boundary flag). dnl Also, however, checks whether main() is correctly aligned by the dnl OS/libc/..., as well as for a bug in the stack alignment of gcc-2.95.x dnl (see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/1999-11/msg00259.html). dnl dnl ACTION-IF-YES/ACTION-IF-NO are shell commands to execute if we are dnl using gcc and the stack is/isn't aligned, respectively. dnl dnl Requires macro: AX_CHECK_COMPILER_FLAGS, AX_GCC_VERSION dnl dnl @version 2005-05-30 dnl @license GPLWithACException dnl @author Steven G.
