- Subject: Program section alignment on MIPS
I've noticed a change between binutils 2.17 and older versions (2.14
at least; don't know for sure when this arrived). In 2.14, the
program sections were aligned 2**12, which make sense given the MIPS
page size. In 2.17 they are aligned 2**16, which I don't want and is
causing trouble.
The biggest problem is that I can't find out where this number comes
from, nor how to change it. Looking through the docs for "align"
turns up assorted things, but none that seem relevant and none that
help.
