don't assume reloc_addr passed to elf_machine_rel* is aligned

Alexandre,

Thank you again for all your contributions to the mips glibc port.  I 
saw the struggle you went through to get things in place, but it seems 
that your efforts have proved successful in the end.  I hope you'll come 
back someday, hopefully sooner rather then later (perhaps doing 
something challenging like TLS or NPTL support might renew your 
interest?).  I can't speak for everyone, but I found your reaction to 
Uli to be quite restrained and reasonable, given the circumstances. 
Don't let him get you down... after all, his opinions (such as they are) 
could hardly be considered objective.  Good luck in your future endeavors!

Cheers,
Nicholas
