Thank you for pursuing that. I'll update gnulib to resolve the issue.

Paul Eggert has committed a patch upstream at gnulib.  The patch detects old apple gcc and falls back to another case.
Hopefully a future release of GNUTLS will pick up that change.

You may close this issue.

This is a gnulib test and as far as I understand it checks the alignment of several types. No idea why is that, but probably it is used by gnulib itself. You may want to bring that issue to gnulib mailing list at: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/

To see whether this may affect gnutls you could try gnutls' test suite directly in tests/.

version GNUTLS 3.3.9
there is no system <stdalign.h> header present
compiler is pre-C11

On good old powerpc-darwin8 (OS X 10.4), building with the system
compiler, Apple's gcc-4.0.1, I get a single test failure with:                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                              
% ./test-stdalign
test-stdalign.c:88: assertion '(uintptr_t) &(static_char_alignas) % TEST_ALIGNMENT == 0' failed
Abort
                                                                                                                                                                   
I don't recall the details, but I know powerpc-darwin has some somewhat
unconventional alignment rules in their ABI.  What assumptions about
alignment is this test making?  Are those assumptions integral to the
functionality of GNUTLS?  Or is perhaps the test erroneous?
