assert(@alignof(i16) == 2) fails on 8-bit AVR MCU

0.12.0-dev.3630+215de3ee6

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

Trying to build a static lib for an AVR MCU, Atmega328p specifically. The following code

const std = @import("std");

export fn app_main() void {
    var buf: [20]u8 = undefined;
    var fba = std.heap.FixedBufferAllocator.init(&buf);
    const alloc = fba.allocator();

    const mem = alloc.alloc(u8, 10) catch |err| {
        err catch {};
        return;
    };
    _ = mem;
}

results in the following compiler error:

The build configuration:

const std = @import("std");

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
    const target = std.Target.Query{
        .abi = .none,
        .cpu_arch = .avr,
        .cpu_model = .{ .explicit = &std.Target.avr.cpu.atmega328p },
        .os_tag = .freestanding,
    };

    const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});

    const lib = b.addStaticLibrary(.{
        .name = "app",
        .root_source_file = .{ .path = "src/main.zig" },
        .target = b.resolveTargetQuery(target),
        .optimize = optimize,
    });

    b.installArtifact(lib);

    const main_tests = b.addTest(.{
        .root_source_file = .{ .path = "src/main.zig" },
        .target = b.resolveTargetQuery(target),
        .optimize = optimize,
    });

    const run_main_tests = b.addRunArtifact(main_tests);
    const test_step = b.step("test", "Run library tests");
    test_step.dependOn(&run_main_tests.step);
}

Expected Behavior

The 8-bit AVR MCUs do not have any alignment requirements for words, since a word is accessed by loading/storing 2 bytes (8-bit) at a time.

Note that the reference to @import("wasi.zig") was introduced by #18712 (where the lazily analyzed decl wasiCwd was moved to a less lazily analyzed field).

[Vexu]

Those wasi asserts should only be run when targeting wasi.
