movdqa, an SSE instruction that requires 16-byte alignment.  This is
about a dozen instructions within the dynamic loader.

(gdb) stepi
0x00007fff85ac68a5 in misaligned_stack_error_entering_dyld_stub_binder ()
3: $rsp = (void *) 0x7fff5fbfe5f8
2: $rbp = (void *) 0x7fff5fbfe6b8
1: x/i $pc  0x7fff85ac68a5
<misaligned_stack_error_entering_dyld_stub_binder>: movdqa
%xmm0,0x40(%rsp)
(gdb) stepi

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: 13 at address: 0x0000000000000000
0x00007fff85ac68a5 in misaligned_stack_error_entering_dyld_stub_binder ()
