DJGPP and alignment

Since the documentation is silent on this, what does 
COFF_DEFAULT_SECTION_ALIGNMENT_POWER do then? My tests 
show it does increase the size of the object files and executables 
accordingly.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think so. The linker script groups them 
together in the .data section and surrounds them with special symbols 
(djgpp_first_ctor, etc.) defined in the script.
