Actually, such alignments are enforced by the assembler and linker.
The linker is supposed to pad sections to keep each one aligned on a
suitable boundary (src/bfd/coff-i386.c,
COFF_DEFAULT_SECTION_ALIGNMENT_POWER, currently set to 2 (i.e. 4
bytes)).

The assembler is supposed to only produce sections that are padded to
the right size alignment.

Delete the cygwin line from /etc/setup/installed.db and re-run setup.
