Quoth Andrew Haley on Friday, 8 June:
: It's importsant to use __attribute__((aligned)) correctly on a type.
: This program demonstrates the correct and incorrect use of aligned
: better than I can explain.

Thanks much! It also explains why the declaration did not have the
effect I desired. When I run it, only d is aligned(8)!
Is it possible to align a variable of a closed type?
