That test doesn't prove anything.
Try running on x86:
$ echo 'int a = __alignof__(long long);' | gcc -xc - -Wall -S -o - -m32
.file ""
.globl a
.data
.align 4
.type a, @object
.size a, 4
a:
.long 8
.ident "GCC: (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10) 5.4.0 20160609"
.section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
Using '__alignof__(struct {long long x;})' does give the expected 4.
__alignof__() returns the preferred alignment, not the enforced
alignmnet - go figure.
