(Note: Patch also attached because the inline version is certain to get
line wrapped.)
When doing cross builds for 64-bit targets on 32-bit platforms, 64-bit
types may not have the same alignment on build and target platforms,
causing problems when parsing the ieee1394_device_id structures. This
adds explicit alignment to the 64-bit type used in file2alias.
