It does not, unless something changed very recently.  The patch doing trick
with alloca aligns the stack boundary, so all functions called from main are
aligned, but not main itself.
#include <xmmintrin.h>
main()
{
  __m128 t;
  return &t;
}

main:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        subl    $8, %esp
        andl    $-16, %esp
        movl    %ebp, %esp
        leal    -4(%ebp), %eax
        popl    %ebp
        ret
.Lfe1:

esp gets aligned by and operation, but t is homed at stack and
computed off missaligned ebp.
