On macOS, the .align <n> directive aligns to 2^n, not just n.
I wonder if we should explicitly use '.balign 8', since that always means "align to 8 bytes." Unless, of course, there are platforms that don't support it.
This is a general issue that winebuild also explicitly contends with, and it isn't using .balign (nor .p2align). See tools/winebuild/utils.c:get_alignment(). So, I assume .balign isn't an acceptable solution. I'd be happy to be told otherwise, though.
