I don't know/read assembly, so I'm not sure if this is what you're
looking for, but the only line in the diff between the two resulting
files that mentions main_thread is that the output from the source with
GCALIGNED says:

    .lcomm main_thread,592,8

Whereas the assembly output from the source without GCALIGNED says:

    .lcomm main_thread,592,32

The diff is quite large though, 3,685 lines. Almost all of them are
either ".uleb128" or ".long" followed by an operand (the operand being
what differs).

I get the following:

        .file  "t.c"
        .text
.Ltext0:
        .cfi_sections  .debug_frame
        .globl c
        .data
        .align 16
c:
        .quad  a
        .quad  b
.lcomm b,4,4
.lcomm a,4,8
        .text
.Letext0:
        .file 1 "t.c"
        .section        .debug_info,"dr"
[... a bunch of .Ldebug_* sections ...]
.Ldebug_line0:
        .section        .debug_str,"dr"
        .ident "GCC: (Rev1, Built by MSYS2 project) 7.2.0"

Let me know if I can provide any other information.
