Oh right, I remember that this issue was brought up before.

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/735

I don't think we want to be mixing alignment then. Maybe let's hold off 
on this change for now and figure out if we still need this flag set at 
all for GCC 8.2 onward.

like

#ifndef GCC82
ccflags += -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3
#endif
