m68k section alignment

Hi.

The m68k section alignement is hardcoded to 2**2 (4 bytes).
Thus, assembling a single nop generates a 4-byte text section, 
containing 2 bytes for the nop and 2 additionnal bytes as an unnecessary 
filler.

I think that since the m68k instructions must be 2-byte aligned, the 
section aligment should be the same.

Am I right ?

Regards,
