binutils support
This is needed to extend the .section directive in the pe-coff port of gas so
that we can tell it to byte-align the lto sections. See Bug 40392 for why we
need the sections to be byte-aligned (actually just byte-size-granularitied,
but the way COFF works at the moment in binutils the two are linked) and Bug
40754 for why this would be bad on a risc platform (but it's ok on x86 where we
can do misaligned accesses.)
