indeed you need another alignment there, i came up with the
following fix:
(on mips/ppc i expect it not to change anything: tp is
at a page aligned offset from the end of struct pthread,
so one alignment is enough there, but on aarch64/arm/sh4
this makes a difference, and seems to pass my simple tests)
