[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello!

The commit [1] "Port flexible array members to GCC + valgrind" (d2f1971dd5)
broke emacs on m68k. This is because the new code aligns blocks of 1-byte
strings to 16 bit on m68k which is the default alignment on m68k.

The crash on m68k looks like this [2]:

/bin/mkdir -p ../etc
/usr/bin/make -C ../lisp update-subdirs

The attached patch by Michael Karcher fixes the problem.

Thanks,
