The initial stack_block is staticly allocated and will be aligned
according to the alignment requirements of pointers, which does not
necessarily match the alignment enforced by ALIGN. To solve this a
more involved change is required: remove the static initial stack
and deal with an initial condition of not having a stack at all. This
change is therefore more risky than the previous ones, but unavoidable
(other than not using the platform default alignment).
