after hours in the gdb-hole, I see this... maybe a clue? :)

src/include/access/common/heaptuple.c:

450     {
451 
452       /*
453        * Fix me when going to a machine with more than a four-byte
454        * word!
455        */
456       off = att_align(off, att[j]->attlen, att[j]->attalign);
457 
458       att[j]->attcacheoff = off;
459 
460       off = att_addlength(off, att[j]->attlen, tp + off);
461     }

I'm pretty sure I don't know best how to fix this, but I've got some
randomly entered code compiling now :)  If it passes the regression 
tests I'll send it along.
