after hours in the gdb-hole, I see this... maybe a clue? :)

src/include/access/common/heaptuple.c:

450 {
451
452 /*
453 * Fix me when going to a machine with more than a four-byte
454 * word!
455 */
456 off = att_align(off, att[j]->attlen, att[j]->attalign);
457
458 att[j]->attcacheoff = off;
459
460 off = att_addlength(off, att[j]->attlen, tp + off);
461 }

I'm pretty sure I don't know best how to fix this, but I've got some
randomly entered code compiling now :) If it passes the regression
tests I'll send it along.
