Power9 CentOS 7 build HDF5 unable to calculate alignment for long double

Interesting message in a gmake build of 1.10.5 after cmake:

unable to calculate alignment for long double

This is interesting because in yum-installed hdf5 we are seeing some anomalies we attribute to a problem with memory alignment of datatypes. Wondering if we have hit a known problem.
