The test case doesn't need an aligned object to fail, so why did you add it?

__builtin_setjmp is already undefined behaviour, and the stack corruption is
even more undefined - trying to avoid harmless theoretical undefined behaviour
wouldn't be helpful.

The above pointer adjustment handles the case where alloca overallocates.
It passes on x86-64 which always adds 8 unnecessary bytes.
