Hi Rusty,

I ran into some alignment problems with the cmdline section on x86_64
with gcc 3.3.5. Entries are aligned to 32-byte, which causes every entry
to occupy 64 bytes. sizeof(struct cmdline_option) is 40 byte however, so
using them or calculating their number fails.

  [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
       Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
  [18] cmdline           PROGBITS         0000000000540e80  00040e80
       0000000000000280  0000000000000000  WA       0     0     32

My quick fix was to pad the structure to 64 bytes, hopefully you have a
better idea :)

Regards
Patrick
