I just added the -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 option to Makefile.common.
Is there a good reason not to do this?  From the description in
gcc.info, it seems like the cases that they are talking about don't
affect the cygwin part of things, although it would conceivably be iffy
to use this switch in the newlib.

The code size reduction is noticeable.
