Tom de Vries b082698c5c [gdb/testsuite] Use precise align in gdb.arch/i386-{avx,sse}.exp
Test-cases gdb.arch/i386-{avx,sse}.exp use assembly instructions that require
the memory operands to be aligned to a certain boundary, and the test-cases
use C11's _Alignas to make that happen.

The draw-back of using _Alignas is that while it does enforce a minimum
alignment, the actual alignment may be bigger, which makes the following
scenario possible:
- copy say, gdb.arch/i386-avx.c as basis for a new test-case
- run the test-case and observe a PASS
- commit the new test-case in the supposition that the test-case is correct
  and well-tested
- run later into a failure on a different test setup (which may be a setup
  where reproduction and investigation is more difficult and time-consuming),
  and find out that the specified alignment was incorrect and should have been
  updated to say, 64 bytes.  The initial PASS occurred only because the actual
  alignment happened to be greater than required.

The idea of having precise alignment as a means of having more predictable
execution which allows flushing out bugs earlier, has been filed as PR
gcc/103095.

Add a new file lib/precise-aligned-alloc.c with functions
precise_aligned_alloc and precise_aligned_dup, to support precise alignment.

Use precise_aligned_dup in aforementioned test-cases to:
- verify that the specified alignment is indeed sufficient, rather
  than too little but accidentally over-aligned.
- prevent the same type of problems in any new test-cases based on these

Tested on x86_64-linux, with both gcc and clang.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
