--- Comment #1 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
We have a bunch of strings in a string merge section
.section .rodata.str1.8,"aMS",@progbits,1
all nicely aligned to 8 byte boundaries (as you'd expect from the .8 in the
name). Somehow the alignment isn't respected and we end up with misaligned
strings. Since a powerpc64 ld reg+offset form address must be a multiple of 4,
we lose low bits of the address.
This is the code reading the " break;\n" string. .LC84 happens to be
defined at .rodata.str1.8+0x570.
1d50: 3d 02 00 00 addis r8,r2,0
1d52: R_PPC64_TOC16_HA .LC84+0x8
1d54: 80 e8 00 00 lwz r7,0(r8)
1d56: R_PPC64_TOC16_LO .LC84+0x8
1d58: 3d 02 00 00 addis r8,r2,0

For starters, I'll be committing a patch that makes gold complain if LO_DS
relocs attempt to apply a misaligned value.
