Re: Is it possible to remove section padding from in as/ld?

As I'm thinking about it, this is perfect answer to my question, if we
force alignment to zero (i.e. no alignment) in BFD (binutils) and
patch linker script with ALIGN(2) or ALIGN(4) directive, it wouldn't
break anything and if someone with special requirements like my case
would need to change it, he would just make custom linker script.

In the linker script, the ALIGN() directive can be used to align output sections.

But it reads input sections with something like:
*(.text)
and I don't know any syntax to force the alignment of the individual sections found by this wildcard.
