  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.
