Jivin Mike Frysinger lays it down ... > The recent commit 1f0ce8b3dd667dca7 which moved the ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN > default into the global header inadvertently broke FLAT for a bunch of > systems. Blackfin systems now fail on any FLAT exec with: > Unable to read code+data+bss, errno 14 > When your /init is a FLAT binary, obviously this can be annoying ;). > > This stems from the alignment usage in the FLAT loader.

Otherwise it'd default to pointer alignment.
