[Bug 1504357] [NEW] qemu-slof stage1 crashes when linked with binutils 2.25.1

[William Grant]

Public bug reported:

qemu-slof stage1 crashes when linked with wily's binutils 2.25.1.
stage2.c's TOC string references end up pointing to the wrong place and
it branches to invalid memory.

The breaking bfd change is a27e685 "Align .TOC. for PowerPC64". Aligning
the TOC to 256 bytes rather than 8 fixes the crash.
