This commit extends commitfaf1e24edf"zoom-manager: bring back attribute aligned(8)" to both places where the attribute was previously dropped from in commit63579451b5"alignment: set alignment on structs". 3.22.3 + commit6a3d7282ec+ commitfaf1e24edf+ this patch has been successfully build tested on Debian armhf porterbox (harris.debian.org). (It also means we end up with exactly the same as the 3.22.2 + patch situation currently shipped in Debian 'stretch' 9.0 regarding alignment/cast fixes.) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784466
Sysprof is a sampling profiler that uses a kernel module to generate
stacktraces which are then interpreted by the userspace program
"sysprof".
See the Sysprof homepage:

Questions, patches and bug reports should be sent to the sysprof
mailing list:

Debugging symbols
- The programs and libraries you want to profile should be compiled
with -fno-omit-frame-pointer and have debugging symbols available,
or you won't get much usable information.
Building Sysprof
----------------
You need some packages installed. The package names may vary depending on your
distribution, the following command works on Fedora 25:
sudo dnf install gcc make autoconf automake autopoint libtool ghc-gio
Then do the following:
./autogen.sh # configure, generate makefiles etc.
make # Build the code
make install # Install (default prefix /usr/local)
WARNING: `make install` will mostly install under the configured install prefix
but installs systemd service configuration directly in the system default
location `/usr/lib/systemd` so it won't work without root privileges, even if
the install prefix is a user-owned directory.
