Try determining the alignment of u64 on i386.  You will be surprised.

If thats the case, then thats really scary :-( I'd claim it's a bug and
I am willing to be that iptables isn't the only place that is affected
or will be in the future.

Would a fix along the lines of this work?

typedef long long u64 __attribute__ ((aligned (8));
