No, there are cases where no (file) alignment would be enforced at all: Specifically for the one caller of _bfd_elf_assign_file_position_for_section() who passes "false" for "align" and "0" for "log_file_align". I'm pretty certain that Linux modpost is (was) tripped by this case. An option might by to also pass bed->s->log_file_align there, just that apart from the issue here there didn't appear to be a reason to do so. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
