Alignment of stack traces

Are there enough other uses for this that it's worth doing?
Java primitive arrays almost fit the bill here, except that there's no way
to say "an array of pointer-sized integers. Java object arrays would work,
but add extra scanning time.
For now I'm using an array of Java longs, which doesn't appear to have
broken anything on Itanium. But I haven't even rebuilt on X86 yet.
