I recently encountered an issue playing the Linux version of "Penumbra: Overture". After loading the game, you can play the first level, and then it just crashes. I made a post about it in the r/linux_gaming subreddit, and I've been told that this is caused by a mismatch in the stack alignment between glibc and the game. Apparently, building glibc with the "-mstackrealign" flag would fix this issue, and other issues that other old games may possibly have. I'm not aware if this change would break something else in the distro, but I think it would be good to consider it, and maybe provide it in a separate package?

Thanks.
