Bug Description

On z13 we have that vector alignment hints are already accepted. This backport enables GAS to accept such hints not only for target z14 but also for z13. Since GCCs default target on Ubuntu is z13 for s390x, we could greatly benefit from such alignment hints. (note a separate bugzilla entry for GCC allowing to emit alignment hints for z13 will be opened shortly)

This is a backport of upstreams commit 26b6ab7a0e.

binutils in groovy is at 20200716 snapshot from 2.35 branch of binutils.

Inspecting source code, I think we already ship this.

Sounds great that this has been already done for 20.10!

For us it is also important to get this into LTS version 20.04. Any chance for this?

@Canonical, please add also 20.04 to LP for getting this also fixed by the LTS version. Many thx
