It simply does not make sense to change the vectorizer, of all things,
to set the stack alignment.  Stack alignment depends upon the
types/modes of automatic variables stored on the stack.  Therefore,
you should set the required stack alignment based on the creation of
automatic variables.  Ideally you would set the required stack
alignment for automatic variables stored on the stack, but apparently
you can't change the stack alignment after expand (though I don't see
why not).  So if you can't set the stack alignment based on automatic
variables stored on the stack, then you should set it based on the
creation of automatic variables.
