Subject: [PATCH] FLAT: make sure data section is aligned at 32 bytes

From: Jie Zhang <jie.zhang@...log.com>

If a structure in the data section attempts to force a larger alignment,
the FLAT loader will break this when working with shared flat libraries
by inserting a few words before the data section.
