[PATCH] add definition of max_align_t to stddef.h

[Pawel Dziepak <pdziepak@quarnos.org>]

max_align_t is an object type with the strictest alignment supported by
the implementation in all contexts. An union is used to "choose" the greater
of the two greatest scalar types: long long and long double.
