The vendor whose product I am writing an Extension for uses 68k-aligned structs for reverse compatibility in their data.  I'm not actually producing 68k bytecode -- sorry for that confusion.

Whoops, that should read "iapi.h" -- since my project is compiling with 68k-aligned structs, I wanted to protect Ghostscript.
