coff: Alignment not a power of 2

[Emmanuel Blot]

Hi,

It seems that this problem has already been reported, but may be not with this target.
I've tried to compile GCC on a PC, for the target i686-pc-coff.

I always get the same error:
Error: Alignment not a power of 2
for the file libgcc2.c (but also for other files)

The machine is a PIII, 128MB RAM.
I've tried to compile both from Linux 2.2.14 and from NT/Cygwin 1.1.4 and  I get the same problem. I use no specific option, thus
the configure script uses "-O2 -g" flags
It seems that is linked to the 'coff' object format, but I don't know why

The alignment is defined by the compiler to odd values: .align 3, .align 5, depending on the source file that is compiled. Please
find the .s file produced by the xgcc compiler.
