Or, more likely, in the OS.  Try running objdump -x on your executable.
If the .rdata section has alignment 2**4, then the linker is OK.  It is
your OS (i.e. the loader) that isn't respecting the alignment.

I tried this on an i386-cygwin system, and it looked OK to me.  The
rdata section has the right alignment, and the program worked.  I didn't
do this with binutils-2.17 though.  I used the one I already had.
