 this seems to be a GCC codegen problem.
 
 the function _pixman_implementation_create_sse2() generates code
 that, given a correctly aligned stack upon entry, will call SSE2
 insns expecting 16 byte alignment, with an 8 byte aligned value
 in %rbp.
 
 i think the right solution for now is to simply disable the SSE2
 support on amd64 until we have a fixed compiler.
