[Bug 1520162] Re: compiled binaries don't work on arm64 64k pages kernel due to alignment

[Lorenzo Pieralisi]

Yes, even though some of the executables are 64K aligned (eg /bin/bash
and I can use that as init= without an issue), I do not know why that's
the case or if I did something wrong while updating packages.

Bug description:
  Some binaries in 15.10 for aarch64 seem to be compiled with maxpagesize=4K which triggers issues when run on 64K pages
  arm64 kernels (tested on all kernels back to 4.0). I spotted this while trying to boot an arm64 kernel with 64K pages enabled on 15.10 Ubuntu filesystem.
