+Subject: [PATCH] llvmGen: Align objects in the data section
+
+Objects in the data section may be referenced via tagged pointers.
+Thus, align those objects to a 4- or 8-byte boundary for 32- or 64-bit
+platforms, respectively.  Note, this may need to be reconsidered if
+objects with a greater natural alignment requirement are emitted as e.g.
+128-bit atomics.
+
+Fixes #24163.
