Description Danny Smith 2007-10-27 23:34:06 UTC 
Given an alignment >16-bytes, eg

	.file	"foo.c"
	.data
.globl _x
	.align 32
_x:
	.long	1065353216
	.space 28

gas for PE-COFF targets fails to set section alignment flags correctly,
but always uses default.  So

 as foo.s | objdump -x  gives

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
  0 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  00000000  2**4
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
  1 .data         00000020  00000000  00000000  0000008c  2**4 < should be 2**5
                  ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
  2 .bss          00000000  00000000  00000000  00000000  2**4
                  ALLOC


Nor is there any warning that alignment is being set to default.
