Yes.

Perhaps the best thing to do would be to use:
typedef struct __ia64_fpreg {
union {
unsigned long bits[2];
long double d; /* never use this, it just forces 16-byte alignment... */
} u;
} __ia64_fpreg_t;
This isn't totally correct in the sense that the data stored in
sc_fr[] is in the 128-bit spill/fill format, so it's not possible to
use the "d" member. However, the "d" member does have the desired
effect of forcing sc_fr and sigcontext to be aligned to 16-bytes.
This should work with any ia64 compiler except very early versions of
gcc (older than Nov 2000).
Hope this helps.
