But I used your patched version to generate my executables !
ld.exe date 6/7/2000 size 408064
Did you use the same version for your tests ?

Did you test it on a win95 box ? because it seems never to happen on a NT box !
(maybe it is really 95 specific !)
Furthermore it could well be that the amount of stabs code generated is a 
little different if we use
different GCC versions for instance and that thus there is no alignment 
space generated in
your case.

   I was even able to generate such alignments with different patterns with 
only one
C source compiled with stabs info.
