[Bug libc/6527] Malloc alignment insufficient for PowerPC

Alignment patch

This patch increases malloc alignment for PowerPC.

It breaks only emacs, which uses malloc_set_state; emacs does not even check
the result of malloc_set_state for failure.  Recompiling emacs after updating
glibc is in my opinion acceptable.  Nothing else uses malloc_set_state that I
could locate.
