Probably because of pure luck, the stack is aligned in 8.32. I attached a
patch, which hopefully makes it misalgined, and calls a system function in a
JIT callback. When a dynamically linked system function runs the first time,
the resolver checks the stack alignment.

The line: "local_size += sizeof(sljit_uw);" might be need to tweak is there is
no crash. Try "2 * sizeof(sljit_uw)" or "3 * sizeof(sljit_uw)". But since the
stack is likely aligned, this addition should make it unaligned.

After the crash please apply the fix (keep the crash patch as well). The crash
should disappear.

After that, please revert the following change:

-#if defined(__GNUC__)
+#if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__APPLE__)

The crash should reappear again.

If everything happens as I described, then my theory is correct about how mac
works.
