I learned while working on the zone collector that there is at least

Maybe the struct should be rewritten like:
struct max_alignment {
char c;
union {
long double d;
HOST_WIDEST_INT i;
} u;
};
To make sure the long double was first which is usually the cures the

alignment issues.
I will see if this fixes the issue but after I finish watching Dr. Who.
