Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt says the change for align options
occurred at GCC 3.0, and Documentation/process/changes.rst says the
minimal supported GCC version is 3.2, so it should be safe to hard-code
-falign* options.

Fix the only user arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu and deprecate the
cc-option-align.

x86 maintainers,

If this patch looks OK, could you give me Acked-by?

LGTM in principle, although I haven't tested it:

Thanks,
