FPC always aligns data to its alignment as specified by the platform 
ABI. {$align x} can be used to limit this alignment to a lower number. 
It cannot be used to increase it.

Arrays are aligned to the alignment requirements of their components. 
Again, a vector type would solve this, since vectors have their own 
alignment requirements in the ABIs.
