I have to admit that I'm wary of changes like this, without it being clear
whether the options were put there on purpose (in exactly that form). Nick,
it's been over 10 years, but I still wonder whether you recall.

I further think that cfi32.d would then want similar adjustment (perhaps
using 4 instead of 8), even if not strictly needed to address the fallout.
Altogether I think that part of the change would better be a separate
change, not the least to allow easy reverting if need be.

I have to admit that I'm puzzled by this having been like it was, i.e.
expecting 4 here instead of 0 as the starting section offset. I can't
help thinking that the expectation was wrong, and hence a change
elsewhere is needed (and then the .idata alignment change would not
have caused any fallout).

May I ask that you take the opportunity and insert the missing newline
here?

With the CFI part split off the remainder is okay to put in.
