Short history: new GCC 4.5.0 (released a month ago), when compiling with -O3, is adding MMX/SSE instructions that requires stack aligned to 16 byte. This is wrong, since x86 ABI only requires stack aligned to 4 bytes.
I think this is debatable. It depends on the operating system also; ultimately, it is the OS vendor who specifies the C ABI for their systems. On Linux, in absence of a vendor, the ABI is what the kernel and gcc define it to be.
