I think it requires a real properly functioning posix_memalign().

The issue is that the detection occurs when the e2fsprogs package
is built, and in userland's libc there is in fact a full and
functioning posix_memalign().  So e2fsprogs is doing nothing wrong.

The problem is that SILO is linking e2fsprogs into it's limited
environment, and we have to bolt on hacks over time as e2fsprogs
depends upon newer facilities in userland.

I'll try to fix this.
