Bug#948396: New glibc broke existing app due to historic stack alignment

The i386 ABI was changed after its initial release to require
additional stack alignment.
If you want to build glibc for i386 with SSE2 enabled (for example,
with -march=x86-64), you need to build it with -mrealignstack as well.
I'm not aware of any remaining issues with this combination.
