If the C compiler has max_align_t in stddef.h, there is no problem (that´s 
what happens with GCC 4.9, 5 and 6): vlc_fixups.h will not (re)define 
max_align_t. So I don´t understand your problem.

Also, this has been discussed several times since C++11 was introduced: do not 
mix C99 and C++11 (or C11 and C++98). You need matching versions of C and C++ 
languages when compiling.
