Yeah!  This one worried me.  It could easily turn up a LOT of
stuff.

I'm not sure about the right solution.  I am leaning on changing
the definition of  ALIGN in param.h from:

#define ALIGNBYTES    (sizeof(int) - 1)

to

#define ALIGNBYTES    (MALLOC_ALIGNMENT - 1)

MALLOC_ALIGNMENT appears to be conditionally defined
in sys/config.h but not for the sparc.  :(

I think that's the right solution but would like feedback before
implementing it.

OK.  Chris and I were on a warning hunt and these showed up
in cpukit.  They will disappear again when you get the patch.
