The maximum alignment on hpux is 4k bytes. This was implemented in 2004 in the PA backend for hpux. Prior to that, the default for MAX_OFILE_ALIGNMENT (BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT) was in effect for all PA targets. It looks like Carlos added the define to elfos.h in November 2006. So unless this was back ported, 4.2.0 would be the first gcc release to support large alignments on linux. Dave -- J.
