 Note that the increased alignment shouldn't actually affect the size of 
files generated, as trailing padding for segments is supported for ELF 
without occupying file space (cf "file size" vs "memory size" for 
segments).  Thus if that's what happens, then there is a problem with that 
particular toolchain.

$ cat main.c
int main(void)
{
	return 0;
}
$ mipsel-linux-gcc -o main main.c
$ ls -la main
-rwxr-xr-x  1 macro macro 7378 Sep 23 16:21 main
