On i686 systems with -msse __float128 requires 16 byte alignment, but for XPVNV bodies the hack used by new_body_allocated() to avoid allocating the unused xmg_stash and xmg_u fields means that the base of the XPVNV body ends up mis-aligned on 32-bit systems.
One 64-bit systems the combined size of those fields is 16-bytes so the modified pointer is still properly aligned.
