Hello,

iirc, the alignment is to sizeof(void*), which is 8.

I haven't met cases when the alignment is required to be different that
the size of the pointer/memory address. Any particular reason for
wolfssl to require that?

https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Aligned-Memory-Blocks.html
Modern malloc/realloc return 16 byte aligned memory on 64bit systems
so 3rd party libraries now assume this behaviour.

wolfSSL has some optimisations with aligned data and Debian has this flag on by default in 5.2.0. I did verify that without this flag existing shm functions work. 
With this flag turned on Kamailio will segfault unless I add wrappers to align up
to 16 bytes.
