[Bug target/112615] gcc incorrectly assumes char *x[2]={"str1", "str2"} has 16-byte minimum alignment and generates SSE instructions (e.g. movaps) when accessing this data

Not if you follow the ABI which has had this in the ABI for years now (more
than 20).

You can workaround the issue inside glibc by adding the attribute but GCC is
producing correct code according to the ABI.
