Hello,

Thank you for reviewing v1!
v2 contains minor changes.
The scope of the change might potentially be extended to PE32+, however, it is optional.
The change affects only AArch64, as in v1, to prevent the regressions in other targets.

Changes in v2:
- Extend the patch description.
- Replace .align with .p2align.

v1 2026-04-07:
The IAT should be aligned to 8 bytes in aarch64-w64-mingw32, otherwise, it might
result in relocation issues.
