This is wrong.  ALIGNED_STACK is supposed to be set if the stack really
is aligned to maximum required by any instruction.  LOCAL_ALIGNED_*
should be set if the compiler supports aligning variables on the stack
to 8/16 bytes by any means, which is sometimes possible even if the
stack is not aligned on entry.  For example, some setups with icc do not
have aligned stack but still support explicitly aligning variables.

Please only add the _deps and add aligned_stack to CMDLINE_SELECT.  That
will provide a means of disabling those settings without altering the
semantics when left automatic.

Sorry, that's still wrong.  x86 sucks.
