Would this be better than -m486 to get 8 byte default struct alignment?
and more importantly would it break anything else?
(dosen't seem to, but I'm not a gcc guru :)

#define DATA_ALIGNMENT(TYPE, ALIGN)		\
  ((TREE_CODE (TYPE) == RECORD_TYPE		\
   || TREE_CODE(TYPE) == UNION_TYPE		\
   || TREE_CODE(TYPE) == QUAL_UNION_TYPE)	\
   && TYPE_FIELDS (TYPE) != 0			\
   && !TYPE_PACKED (TYPE)			\
   && !DECL_PACKED (TYPE)			\
   && (ALIGN) < 64 ? 64 : (ALIGN))
