Hi Zack,

ld-scripts/align1 fails on arm-epoc-pe; this seems to be a genuine
bug, but not an important one; accordingly, XFAIL it.  OK to commit?

* ld-scripts/align.exp: XFAIL align1 on arm-epoc-pe.

Not really no. If it is a genuine bug it ought to be fixed. If it cannot be fixed, or you do not have the time to fix it, then the reason for the failure at least ought to be documented in the comment. If you do not know why it is failing and you do not try to track it down then you may well missing an opportunity to uncover a problem which is not just specific to the arm-epoc-pe toolchain but possibly all arm toolchains and maybe even every toolchain.

Cheers
  Nick
