- Subject: gas section alignment restriction
Is there a particular reason why gas, in s_align(), restricts the
alignment that one can set to 2**15, independent of object file format
or any other auxiliary information? For COFF this would seem to be an an
overly large value, while for ELF the value is too rigid (can't even
align a section to a page boundary on systems where the page size is
64k).
Thanks, Jan
