Should that offset be aligned (i.e. 4 or 8)? 


It could, but it would just increase the waste.  If any of the other
sections needs alignment, it shall require alignment itself.


I don't think 3 more bytes is that much of a burden. There may be missing alignment requirements and everything just works in the current model. I prefer to be safe than sorry. I'll check in the change.

Thanks,

GDB gets thoroughly confused if the address of the start symbol looks
like a NULL pointer.  ISO C requires no other pointer to compare equal
to the NULL pointer as well, so make sure we don't have any objects at
address zero.
Ok to install?
