It's a good one too.

It appears that HP's aCC on IA-64 does pack things into tail padding.

That means somebody has to lose.  I guess we may as well go with the more
efficient technique then, and do the tail padding.  I will try to rework
the spec to be clearer and post patches for that.

And I'll go ahead and hit the "go" button on the GCC release tonight, too.
