Probably ought to allocate extra space and adjust the pointer. We
could also use __attribute__(...) on the allocation of the input and
output buffers in the test code.
The issue is that our ccc SIMD code assumes that the input (and I think
output) gr_complex's are 8-byte aligned, which is more restrictive
than the ABI requires for "struct { float re; float im; }"
The problem doesn't occur in the "real code", since the buffers are
page aligned.
