Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

PyASCIIObject is allocated on heap and should have a maximal alignment enough 
for every type. If sizeof(PyASCIIObject) % SIZEOF_LONG == 0 then dest is at 
least long-aligned. Currently sizeof(PyASCIIObject) is 22 on m68k and the 
optimization is switched off at compile time. When PyASCIIObject will grow to 
24 bytes the optimization will switched on and perhaps will have some effect. I 
prefer checks for features instead of concrete names.
