Just to clarify: the issue is not relying on stack _variables_ being
aligned, ICC handles that fine to my knowledge, it is that the yasm code
seems to assume that the stack pointer itself is aligned.
I forgot to ask last time: Why? Would the three instructions to fix this
really cause a noticeable performance difference?
