Previously tt_static_buf allocations were always aligned, since
the next alloc would always allocate at position 0 in the buffer.
Now you provide a general purpose alloc more or less, which can
start at any position in the buffer. I would simple ensure that
static_alloc() is intptr_t aligned. We can add an aligned alloc
later.
