Description
This issue exists to track <gcc bug will be added when I can submit it>. GCC generates bad alignments for sections with elements smaller than 8 bytes on AArch64.
This was previously worked around by using SUBALIGN() in the linker script, but this causes other problems when larger elements are stored in linker sections.
