Things were fine until test_cplusplusext was added, but now
some older compilers seem to reject this in C++ mode.
For example at [1]:

Not sure what to do about that, but I do read it as indicating that we
cannot put any faith in the compiler to honor such large alignment
demands.
A possible short-term(?) workaround is to wrap those two declarations
in "#ifndef __cplusplus", so that C++ code can't declare such
variables.
