	* sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S (_start): Align stack pointer to
	double word boundary before pushing args for main.  This way we
	don't get penalties for misaligned memory accesses.  Reported by
	Edward Seidl <seidl@janed.com>.

	* Makefile: Correct *my* changes of Richards patch of 1997-01-28 10:51.

@ -605,9 +608,25 @@ is very tricky to compile gcc 2.7.2.1 using glibc 2.x. You have to
build it manually or with one pass only. You also have to use the
specs file in this FAQ while compiling gcc.
A pre-compiled binary version of gcc 2.7.2.1 linked with glibc 2.x for
Linux/x86 is available in the same directory at the glibc 2.x source
code ftp sites.

[Q21] ``On Linux I've got problems with the declarations in Linux
kernel headers.''
[A21] {UD,AJ} On Linux, the use of kernel headers is reduced to a very
minimum. Besides giving Linus the possibility to change the headers
more freely it has another reason: user level programs now do not
always use the same types like the kernel does.
I.e., the libc abstracts the use of types. E.g., the sigset_t type is
in the kernel 32 or 64 bits wide. In glibc it is 1024 bits wide, in
preparation for future development. The reasons are obvious: we don't
want to have a new major release when the Linux kernel gets these
functionality. Consult the headers for more information about the changes.
Therefore you shouldn't include Linux kernel header files directly if
glibc has defined a replacement. Otherwise you might get undefined
results because of type conflicts.
