Research direction
Start with Lib/test/test_buffer.py at test_array_alignment around line 4480 and the _testcapi.buffer_pointer_as_int calls. Reproduce the failure on 32-bit Linux with mimalloc using the complete build log and compare the affected alignment case. Done means the test passes without weakening its alignment assertion; linked PRs gh-145026 and gh-157530 should be reviewed first.
