That might be problematic; looking in nvptx I see

/* Copied from elf.h and other places.  We'd otherwise use
   BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT and fail a number of testcases.  */
#define MAX_OFILE_ALIGNMENT (32768 * 8)

But we could define TARGET_ABSOLUTE_BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT on nvptx instead
of on x86; is this OK?

I'm still not sure why you need an alignment cap on nvptx, but I'm not
going to worry about it anymore.  :)

    * target.def (absolute_biggest_alignment): Consider MAX_OFILE_ALIGNMENT.
    
    * config/i386/i386.c: Don't define TARGET_ABSOLUTE_BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT.
    * config/nvptx/nvptx.h (TARGET_ABSOLUTE_BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT): Define it.
