Thanks; this is helpful. In this thread we have the explanation
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2018-08/msg00158.html, which
could maybe be the root cause of the problem here.

This comment is not helpful.

1) As shown in the previous comment, max_align_t problems arise from the use of
-std=... options that are too old. We are in the year 2023, and it seems right
to use ISO C 11 features (from a 12 years old standard), no?

2) Gnulib actually works around two problems related to max_align_t, as
documented here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/stddef_002eh.html
Without Gnulib, you would encounter more problems related to max_align_t, not
fewer.
