see
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5226, in particular the
testcase in comment #1
Note PE COFF does not support aligned common , so you may need to add
__attribute__((no_common)) to variable.
Thanks Danny! I saw that the bug was committed last November and I wonder if my problematic as (labeling itself as "GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.18.50.20080109") has had the fix?
It should. Can you provide a testcase where you are getting unexpected results?

I only observe the problem when building mplayer under mingw32, which is quite a big program that uses SSE a lot, so a misaligned static leads to crashes. I'm still trying to figure out a minimal set. -- Zuxy
