--- Comment #2 from Michael Matz <matz at suse dot de> ---
Hmm, on reflection this proposed message might not actually be correct.
Generally one can't just increase the alignment of random data symbols like
here: they might be part of a larger object with known relative offsets, and
changing the alignment of such data symbol will then break such knowledge.

In _this_ specific case everything works out and the resulting alignment of
'com2_' is 64.  But that might not always be possible, which I guess is the
reason for the warning in the first place.  And changing the wording to suggest
that the bigger alignment is actually used always is then misleading.

So one point for not changing the warning :)
