Assembly files (to reproduce the problem) and their corresponding object files

problem.S and okay.S are identical except for alignment; the former uses
16-byte alignment while the latter uses 8-byte. When compiled, problem.o is
~65KB and okay.o is ~1KB.

In both cases, the following command-line was used:

clang -o <file>.o -c <file>.S --target=aarch64-none-eabi
