The man page says:
--alignment=<number> [default: 8 or 16, depending on the platform]
By default Valgrind's malloc, realloc, etc, return a block whose
starting address is 8-byte aligned or 16-byte aligned (the value
depends on the platform and matches the platform default). This
option allows you to specify a different alignment. The supplied
value must be greater than or equal to the default, less than or
equal to 4096, and must be a power of two.
I guess things have changed in the last eleven years (bug 216517). 8 might have been a valid value (or the default?) on the relevant architectures back then. However, since this is a noarch package, I agree that the best recourse is to drop the --alignment parameter completely.
