Linux: GCC static data is 16byte aligned, messes up param

Browse Source 
GCC 4.8 and higher implement 16 byte static data alignment on 64-bit.
This means that the 24-byte param_info_s variables are 16 byte aligned
by GCC and that messes up the assumption that the address of the second
parameter is at &param[0]+sizeof(param[0]).
When compiled with clang it is true, with gcc is is not true.

See https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=18006

The fix is needed for GCC >=4.8 only. Clang works fine without this.

Added __attribute__((aligned(16))) to first member of param_info_s.
