Most likely.

Let me guess -- you're seeing unaligned sections after the .bss
section?

Typically this would indicate a linker or linker script bug, so it's
probably worth tracking down.

However, defining ASM_OUTPUT_ALIGNED_BSS is a good thing since it
reduces wasted space in the .bss section.

My only concern is that the native sco assembler wouldn't handle it,
can you check that for me?

Can you elaborate a little more here -- if it's causing problems on
sco, then I'd like to know if we need to make a similar change for
other platforms.
