    LoongArch: Enforce 4-byte align for machine instructions
    
    If no alignment is specified in the assembly file, LoongArch will not
    perform forced alignment. When this object file (.o) is linked into an
    executable, instructions may not be 4-byte aligned, which will
    eventually cause instruction fetch errors.
    
    For example, the above issue can occur when generating a shared object
    file (.so) with the -nostdlib option.
