I was wondering (as I posted on the Bugzilla) whether this would completely
solve the issue. Wouldn't another function call to a lib provided by Apple
from the Win32 compatibility functions, require an aligned ESP register and
then crash with a SIGILL again ?

Is it really proper to ask the user to do this ? Usually (but that's just my
opinion there) a program's behaviour should not change that much because of
an environment variable. Then again, yes, it's the cleanest way yet to get the
job done properly.
