I'm aware of a ".p2align" directive, but I've never heard of ".palign". ".p2align" aligns to 2**n, where n is the argument. I added support for it quite some time ago. It's handy because it means the same thing for a.out as for ELF. Whereas the old ".align n" aligned to a multiple of n for a.out, but a multiple of 2**n for ELF. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
