So maybe make the original error message more informative ?
Just something like:

-             extern void __buggy_fxsr_alignment(void);
-             __buggy_fxsr_alignment();
+             extern void __BUG__task_struct__data_is_not_properly_alligned__Probably_your_compiler_is_buggy(void);
+             __BUG__task_struct__data_is_not_properly_alligned__Probably_your_compiler_is_buggy();
