I was thinking about doing the equivalent of ".balign 16,,7" between the 
objects, if that's possible.  That should bloat the library about 7K at 
the maximum (we have less than 1000 modules).

Btw, won't ".balign 16,,7" near the entry into every function do the 
same, without changing Binutils?  (Of course, this leaves us with code 
produced by GCC.)
