We already introduced this definition above in the function to suppress this
kind of warning

    union
    {
	    alignas(int32) varlena hdr;
	    char		data[sizeof(void *)];
    }			chunk_header;

The problem on a 32-bit system probably is that sizeof(void *) is 4. We need
some other constant. Maybe (sizeof(varlena) + 1) ...

Thanks.
