After re-checking in the spec and comparing stack offsets with glibc, The last pushed argument must be 16-byte aligned (i.e. aligned before the call) so that in the callee esp+4 is multiple of 16, so the principle is the 32-bit equivalent to what Ammar fixed for x86_64. It's possible that 32-bit code using SSE2 or MMX could have been affected. In addition the frame pointer ought to be zero at the deepest level.
