There is no such guarantee, and there is no special way to get such
alignment. You will just have to write assembler code to do this.
This should only come up if calling very external functions (if not,
just write C to do such calls!) If you need non-trivial code to call
the external function, you are probably best off writing a trampoline
function for it (in actual assembler code, a .s file) that you can call
as a normal function.
