This is due to a change in your system headers.
There won't be any Emacs 27 releases, and the problem is fixed in the
current development sources, which will become Emacs 28.1. So my
suggestion is to use the code we have there now:
/* Storage for the alternate signal stack.
64 KiB is not too large for Emacs, and is large enough
for all known platforms. Smaller sizes may run into trouble.
For example, libsigsegv 2.6 through 2.8 have a bug where some
architectures use more than the Linux default of an 8 KiB alternate
stack when deciding if a fault was caused by stack overflow. */
static max_align_t sigsegv_stack[(64 * 1024
+ sizeof (max_align_t) - 1)
/ sizeof (max_align_t)];

Thanks! I tried version 29.0.50 at https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs.git
and it compiles fine:
$ git clone https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs.git
$ cd emacs
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/emacs-29
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ /opt/emacs-29/bin/emacs --version
