Great - please consider this patch approved and check it in at your leisure.

For relocatable objects ?  Presumably computing a size that is too big 
is preferable to one one that is too small, (with the assumption that 
the correct size will be computed when the final link is performed), so 
I would think that allowing extra space for possible alignment would be 
a good idea.
