   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    Some versions of posix_memalign (notably glibc 2.2.5) incorrectly apply
    their power-of-two check to the size argument, not the alignment argument.
    AX_FUNC_POSIX_MEMALIGN defines HAVE_POSIX_MEMALIGN if the power-of-two
    check is correctly applied to the alignment argument.
