Some pages also document attributes, using GNU syntax

If you mention alignment in the manpage at all, the same reasoning would
say you should use _Alignas(8) not [[gnu::aligned(8)]], in any context
where _Alignas is valid.
Agree.
I just didn't know 'alignas()' (a.k.a. '_Alignas()'), so I used
attributes and only changed the syntax. But yes, we should use that C11
feature. Given that we already used 'noreturn' and not '_Noreturn' (see
exit(3) and its family), I'll use 'alignas()'.
I'll send a v2 with those changes.
Thanks,
Alex
