I think part of the confusion is this depends on the type of
storage. For an automatic variable on the stack, MAX_OFILE_ALIGNMENT is
irrelevant. For a global or static variable allocated in the data or bss
segment, MAX_OFILE_ALIGNMENT describes the functionality of the
link-editor pre-allocating storage in the process address space.
