Eh, I'm not really to clear on this either. I probably should have moved discussion about the proper solution here instead of letting it continue on bugzilla.

No need for that. This is an issue that needs to be fixed and this is where that review should happen.

After your digging in the bfd code I think I'm happy with changing the binary layout algorithm to use PAddr instead of VAddr but I want the ELF layout to explicitly use VAddr. I want the VAddr alignment property to obviously hold.
