mainthread.cxx - unaligned stack possible

Subject: mainthread.cxx - unaligned stack possible

eCos provides the stack for main() when building with libc startup support and CYGSEM_LIBC_MAIN_STACK_FROM_SYSTEM is defined. However, the stack is declared as an array of cyg_uint8, so there is the possibility that it is unaligned. The attached trivial fix ensures that the stack is at least octlet-aligned. (Does any architecture require an alignment stricter than 8 bytes ?)
