Since a while when I build rockbox it ends up with an odd sized
binary. Most likely theory is that GCC 3.2.1 produces better optimized
(and hence smaller) code.
I've been advised to insert a couple of align instructions in
linkage.lds and this does, indeed, seem to cure it.
Maybe these aligns can be permanently added to the source?
