Apparently LTO improved or at least changed between r210000 and
r211121, such that memory outside the defined space was wrongly read
as "expected" for this test-case, corresponding to the wrongly
presumed stacked parameters. For a "normal" target this would
correspond to a SEGV. You'd need the memory-strictness change file (a
sort-of CWEB patch) from
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-10/msg01871.html> to see this
when testing with the mmixware mmix simulator:

This also annotates as fixed an age-old PR, though test has actually
been passing for some time after "Tue Nov 9 00:36:20 UTC 2004" (yes,
this was CVS time) and up-to-and-including at least r210000. I wrote
this fix when investigating fallout from the memory-strictness feature
mentioned above, but as this test didn't fail at that time, I didn't
apply it.
Committed.

* gcc.dg/torture/stackalign/builtin-return-1.c (STACK_ARGUMENTS_SIZE):
New macro, 0 for __MMIX__, default 64.
(bar): Pass it to __builtin_apply instead of literal 64.
