Well, in C11, alignas is itself a macro (defined to _Alignas). I
suppose not in C++ though. That seems too tricky, though. I went with
your original proposal of disabling the affected typedefs on the
affected platform. That seems safest. These types aren't likely to be
used in extensions anyway, so this should have minimal practical impact.
