Yuck.  ia64 is broken because HANDLE_ALIGN assumes 128 byte section
alignment.  I'm not familiar enough with ia64 to know whether 128
byte section alignment is really what is required.

My approach to fixing this is just going to be defining
SUB_SEGMENT_ALIGN for ia64 and alpha to mimic the old behaviour.
