No, your problem is certainly something completely different.  In fact I've
never seen GCC (common code) do anything even remotely like:

Normally, attribute ((aligned)) does not cause any code to be
generated that attempts to dynamically adjust alignment at runtime,
it simply allows a variable to be aligned up to whatever default
stack frame alignment the platform ABI provides for.

It appears that the i386 back-end has some special code related to
the -mstackrealign option that may be involved here.  In any case,
this would be something for an i386 back-end person to look into.

Since this is a completely unrelated problem, I recommend you open
a separate bugzilla for it.
