 That patch worked fine for me, had the same size .xcf as 4), and had
 these sections:
 
 Sections:
 Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
   0 .text         0000f7b0  00e00000  00e00000  00001000  2**3
                   CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, CODE
   1 .pad          00000850  00e0f7b0  00e0f7b0  000107b0  2**3
                   CONTENTS
   2 .data         00000258  00e10000  00e10000  00011000  2**3
                   CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
   3 .bss          00002750  00e10258  00e10258  00000000  2**3
                   ALLOC
 
 I'm not understanding how the padding works, but if you want the fixed
 checked in and PR closed I'm fine with it.
 
 Thanks
