Comment (by Chris Johns):

 The change to use separate data and text sections exposed a bug in how
 symbols and section alignment are handled when locating the symbols. The
 issues are:
 1. The base address of a section may not be aligned to the required
 alignment
 2. The location support on PowerPC included SDATA symbols in respective
 data section processing while not being included in the size calculation.
 This pushed the symbols out past the end of the allocated memory.
