Problem reported by Florian Weimer [1] and solution suggested by
Andreas Schwab [2]. It also set the same buffer size independent
of architecture max_align_t size.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
* lib/malloc/scratch_buffer.h (struct scratch_buffer):
Use an union instead of a max_align_t array for __space,
so that __space is the same size on all platforms.
* malloc/scratch_buffer_grow_preserve.c
(__libc_scratch_buffer_grow_preserve): Likewise.

This patch syncs the scratch_buffer grom gnulib commit 3866ef6 with
GLIBC code.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and on a build using build-many-glibcs.py
for all major architectures.
* include/scratch_buffer.h (scratch_buffer): Use a C99 align method
instead of GCC extension.
* malloc/scratch_buffer_grow.c [!_LIBC]: Include libc-config.h.
* malloc/scratch_buffer_grow_preserve.c [!_LIBC]: Likewise.
* malloc/scratch_buffer_set_array_size.c [!_LIBC]: Likewise.
Now that we build with -std=gnu11 and can rely on a compiler providing
max_align_t in <stddef.h>, we no longer need our own version
libc_max_align_t. This patch removes it and replaces the single user
with a use of max_align_t.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped
shared libraries are unchanged by the patch for x86_64; for x86, I see
some code reordering of no significance).
* include/libc-internal.h (libc_max_align_t): Remove typedef.
* include/scratch_buffer.h: Include <stddef.h> instead of
<libc-internal.h>.
(struct scratch_buffer): Use max_align_t instead of
libc_max_align_t.
