Thank you! Using ./configure CC="gcc" CFLAGS="-m64 -O1" on commit 
9c7d06d60680 with your patch, I got this:
checking for __int128... yes
checking for __int128 alignment bug... ok
checking alignment of PG_INT128_TYPE... 16

In pg_config.h:
/* The normal alignment of `PG_INT128_TYPE', in bytes. */
#define ALIGNOF_PG_INT128_TYPE 16
...
/* Define to the name of a signed 128-bit integer type. */
#define PG_INT128_TYPE __int128

But make check got the same failures, and I see the same debug output as 
in [1]..

P.S. As I understand it, this comment on bugzilla [2] is also about 
this.
