Alignment 16 will be enough, though the [NR_riscv_flush_icache syscall](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/tools/arch/riscv/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h) doesn't reqiure alignment.

In which cases do we care for GCC 9 for RISC-V? Given how fast the development of the RISC-V platform and spec is, such an old version of GCC will not have good support for RISC-V. Not completely opposed to the change, but I just think we would want to motivate such support.
