Bug Description

qemu-slof stage1 crashes when linked with wily's binutils 2.25.1. stage2.c's TOC string references end up pointing to the wrong place and it branches to invalid memory.

The breaking bfd change is a27e685 "Align .TOC. for PowerPC64". Aligning the TOC to 256 bytes rather than 8 fixes the crash.
