How about:

#ifdef INT64_IS_BUSTED
#define int64aligned(name) int32 name##_; int64 name
#else
#define int64aligned(name) int64 name
#endif

typedef struct FormData_pg_sequence
{
NameData sequence_name;
int64aligned(last_value);
int64aligned(increment_by);
int64aligned(max_value);
int64aligned(min_value);
int64aligned(cache_value);
int64aligned(log_cnt);
char is_cycled;
char is_called;
} FormData_pg_sequence;
