According to the output from readelf, the .text section should be aligned to 16:
Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al [ 0] (null) NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 1] .text PROGBITS 000de300 000300 021d00 00 AX 0 0 16 [...]
This however doesn't seem to be enforced when the relocations are generated. The following patch tries to address this by making sure the space used for the relocations it also aligned to the same value as the .text section.
