I need to align some static variables at 8 bytes (for MMX asm code).

I used this code :

	static char variable[8] __attribute__ ((aligned(8)));

but the compiler issues this :

	warning: alignment of `variable' is greather than maximum 
	object file alignment. Using 4.

I found that the `-malign-double' option removes the warning, but this
option have others effects that I don't need. For example align all the
double variables.

How can I align ONLY SOME variables at 8 bytes ?
