I forgot to mention:

Another thing I changed myself (as intimated in mail archive) is the
COFF_DEFAULT_SECTION_ALIGNMENT_POWER.  I changed it to 4 instead of 2.

Also, does this actually do anything because the linker scripts have an
ALIGN statement.  Should these be changed to 0x400 or left as is and the
COFF_DEFAULT_SECTION_ALIGNMENT_POWER will actually make the code aligned
better for the pentiums and k6's (I use K6-2).
