The malloc man page says: "suitably aligned for any use".
I think that means the largest alignment that might be needed.
I think there are some sparc 64-bit instructions that require
16 byte alignment?  I'm not sure, maybe VIS  instructions.
I used to know this in my RTC says, but now I've forgotten it all.

Sorry.  Of course you could read/debug/disassemble the
source for malloc and find out.
