He does?  Oh.

Well, the patch I saw which uses

+#define HEAP_GRANULARITY_TYPE	double __attribute_aligned__ (sizeof
(size_t))

seems reasonable once you find the place in the GCC docs that says that
attribute aligned never decreases alignment.

Why not just use plain attribute ((aligned)) which is documented to
provide the maximum alignment for any datatype?  Seems like that's
exactly what we want for malloc.
