Can you tell how such a configuration should be done?

Sure, Binutils need to be changed to use a 16-byte alignment by
default.  We need to make both of these changes.

Btw, what exactly prevents us from releasing the DJGPP port of
Binutils 2.9.1?  I understand that a number of people are using it for
quite some time already.  Is there any problems that make its release
undesirable, or is it simply a question of somebody's finding enough
free time to make the release?
