I summarize the problem and attach patch. Please install it, if you
can. I don't know what procedure is required to install the patch to
CVS tree. 

*Problem Description:
Current tc-mips.c:s_change_sec() always sets '.rdata' and '.sdata'
section alignments to 2**4, even if those contain over 2**4 aligned 
objects.


*Solution:
Tc-mips.c:s_change_sec() should use record_alignment(), not
bfd_set_section_alignment(), for preventing  reset section
alignments.


*Patch:

2000-04-24	Machida Hiroyuki <machida@sm.sony.co.jp>

tc-mips.c (s_change_sec): Use record_alignment(), not 
  bfd_set_section_alignment() to preserve section aligenments.
