Actually not very smart. I have an idea that removes the need for an alignment
of the segments in the linker config (at least for binary output), but it
needs to be implemented.

Easy: Sections are stored in the order in which they're found. If alignment is
necessary it is added when a section is encountered. Adding more intelligence
in this area is rather difficult, I think.
