I'm hitting the same bug as in PR53708 when compiling GLIBC's dlfcn.c when
vectorization is enabled on powerpc64-linux. A reduced test case is:
bergner@bns:~/gcc/BUGS> cat foo.i
static void (*const init_array []) (void)
__attribute__ ((section (".init_array"), aligned (sizeof (void *)), used))
= { 0 };
bergner@bns:~/gcc/BUGS> /home/bergner/gcc/build/gcc-fsf-4_7-base/gcc/xgcc

init_array:
The above is bad, because the extra alignment causes the linker to add some
null padding to the init_array and the loader isn't expecting that and ends
up segv'ing. I'd like to backport Richard's patch below to the 4.7 branch.
The patch bootstrapped and regtested on powerpc64-linux with no regressions.
Is it ok for the 4.7 branch?
