I do not think it is safe to hard code the expected alignment in the test case as the default alignment may vary across architectures.  Shelling out to `readelf` and parsing is possible, but feels clunky; is there an existing function to get this data?

You can use yaml2obj to create sections with known alignments. You should be able to find examples of that in the existing tests (just grep for yaml2obj).
