It may be that the best solution is to only do the stack unaligment on
Windows given that the GCC developers believe that the ABI for Linux on
x86-32 calls for a 128 bit aligned stack on function entry.

On Windows it certain;ly would be wrong for GCC to make that assumption,
so the stack unalignment should be safe there. Though who knows, maybe
it will turn out that all compilers except GCC were actually using the
wrong ABI on Windows too.

The following patch disables the unaligning on all systems except GCC on
32 bit Windows.
