I don't really know why the empty string was special-cased there; it
probably shouldn't have been (the reasoning may have been that an
empty string doesn't need to be aligned, but you have a good example
why that's not true).

This patch is small enough that I don't think I need to worry about
your copyright assignment. I'll take a closer look and commit it for
you if everything looks OK. Do you have write access to the binutils
repo?

Anyway, thanks for the fix!
