I think in fact such a change should be made for 32-bit x86 as well, if we can
find a way to do it without breaking existing emacs binaries, because the
alignment requirement of _Decimal128 is 16-byte on 32-bit x86, and decimal
floating-point is defined in terms of standard types added to the C set.
(32-bit x86 would need a separate MALLOC_ALIGNMENT definition because
_Decimal128 isn't a type malloc.c considers when working out the required
alignment, and most architectures don't support it.)
