int arguments only need word alignment. 'd' occupies bytes sp-56 to sp-49.

A long double is the same as a double (64-bits) on hppa-linux.  I'd hoped
that HP would make their quad library available but so far it hasn't
happened.  As far as I know, quad precision has never been implemented
in hardware.
