My opinion: We stay for now with 2 byte alignment. If we switch to gcc
4.2 wen can still go for a 4 byte alignment (and provide a binutils
package with 4 byte alignment too that stritcly require a gcc 4.2
package and vice versa; that can be easily done with rpm).
I agree with you.
It is always better to not change everything at the same time.
We may use that release plan:
1) Release binutils 2.18 with 2-byte alignement. It will be compatible
with all the other tools an libraries.
2) Release gcc 4.x with 2-byte alignement. Until now it seems to be
binary compatible with the existing binary libraries (but I'm pretty
sure it is not the case for C++ libraries)
3) If we decide it is a good thing, release binutils and GCC with
support for a more clever alignment.
a.out-mint format (from the Sparemint binaries). The advantage of not
using a.out-mint is to avoid unnecessary non-standard patching.

I see this as advantage too. Less patches are much better. And if it's
exactly the same I see no reason to support our own format (this is a
waste of time).
I'm going to have a closer look to that file formats.
