I think you are looking for Gtk::Container#add, and not
Gtk::Bin#add_child.

(pseudo code, not tested)

align = Gtk::Alignment.new(0, 0, 1, 1)
b1 = Gtk::Button.new(“Test”)
b2 = Gtk::Button.new(“Test”)
align.add(b1)
align << b2

See http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Gtk%3A%3AContainer#add

After reading closer the Gtk::Alignment doc, you can only pack one
widget into it.

So, if you are looking to pack many buttons, you should look at the
different boxes : Gtk::VBox, Gtk::HButtonBox, etc.
Or maybe, the Gtk::Table or Gtk::Fixed containers.

Look the containers in the doc :
