Nope streams != doc_mil_stream
So adding the alignment is definentily necessary. It looks like
my linuxBIOS builds were just lucky.
So ldscript.base needs to look like:
.rodata (.) : {
_rodata = .;
+ . = ALIGN(4);
streams = . ;
*(.rodata.streams)
estreams = .;
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.*)
_erodata = .;
}
