Hmm?  Doesn't -malign-double and -mpreferred-stack-boundary work for you?

Only Binutils 2.9.5.1, the latest port uploaded a couple of days ago,
supports alignment of sections that is greater than 4 bytes.  All the
previous DJGPP ports of Binutils used a 4-byte section and subsection
alignment.

Are you sure you have Binutils 2.9.5.1?  What does "as --version" print?
