Then I suggest to aim at having the next release of Binutils use
16-byte section alignment for DJGPP.  Do you agree?

I understand that the assembler used, whether BFD or not, doesn't
affect neither the alignment issue, nor anything else.  Am I missing
something?  This assembler schism subject is not really documented in
the Binutils distribution, so it's hard to be sure.
