As far as I can tell, besides .gnu_incremental_inputs, the only other
section that has any address-sized items in it is
.gnu_incremental_relocs. That would probably be a bug in
Incremental_inputs::create_data_sections():
this->relocs_section_ = new Output_data_space(4, "** incremental_relocs");
That "4" should be "size/8", where we'd determine "size" in the switch
statement above. That'll make sure the relocs section is properly
aligned.
