+Subject: ia64: fix ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS) (unbreaks strace, gdb)

+
+The strace breakage looks like that:
+./strace: get_regs: get_regs_error: Input/output error
+
+It happens because ia64 needs to load unwind tables
+to read certain registers. Unwind tables fail to load
+due to GCC quirk on the following code:
+
+    extern char __end_unwind[];
+    const struct unw_table_entry *end = (struct unw_table_entry *)table_end;
+    table->end = segment_base + end[-1].end_offset;
+
+GCC does not generate correct code for this single memory
+reference after constant propagation (see https://gcc.gnu.org/PR84184).
+Two triggers are required for bad code generation:
+- '__end_unwind' has alignment lower (char), than
+  'struct unw_table_entry' (8).
+- symbol offset is negative.
+
+This commit workarounds it by fixing alignment of '__end_unwind'.
+While at it use hidden symbols to generate shorter gp-relative
+relocations.
