Hmm?  Do you really mean thay ou wanted that variable to be aligned on 
4096-byte boundary?  If so, why did you use aligned(16)?  The number 16 
specifies the alignment in bytes.

Please post the details: how did you produce the map file, and what did 
you look at in the map file to determine the alignment.
