But the root problem is that emacs is compiled with -std=gnu99 and
FreeBSD therefore uses its own versions of _Alignas and friends because
of the following test in sys/cdefs.h:

#elif defined(__STDC_VERSION__) && __STDC_VERSION__ >= 201112L
/* Do nothing.  They are language keywords. */
#else
/* Not supported.  Implement them using our versions. */
#define _Alignas(x)             __aligned(x)

Unfortunately this doesn't work but I don't know if this is because of
the way emacs uses this stuff or because of a FreeBSD bug.
