--- Comment #6 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
The zero bytes are added by the -fsection-anchors code. They used to align the
next object. Now, the number of zero bytes is wrong (in cases where we used to
have an unterminated string), *and* gcc's calculation of the offset to the
object within the section-anchor block is wrong.
Misaligned strings will mean poorer performance on some targets.
Miscalculating the offset will result in wrong-code errors when it results in
too many objects being placed into a block.
