--- Comment #1 from Toni Spets <toni.spets at iki dot fi> ---
After fiddling a while with binutils, I found out that the underlying reason
why file alignment isn't honored.

In bfd/coffcode.h at around line 3139 (current git) inside
coff_compute_section_file_positions it is assumed (abfd)->link_info has to
exist for the optional header FileAlignment to be valid. In objcopy there is no
link_info set so FileAlignment is ignored even though objcopy.c sets it
properly according to --file-alignment argument.

Quick hack of changing that to test if FileAlignment is non-zero properly
aligns output files (apparently).

This does not yet affect --section-alignment.
