So the section anchor code places vars (and constants) in blocks according to
their alignment and sizes (varasm.c:place_block_symbol).  The calculations are
all good, offsets are properly aligned, and the overall block aligned.  The
problem is that when we come to actually output the vars, in some cases we emit
*more* data than given by the size.  That results in following vars being at a
different offset than originally calculated, and sometimes misaligned.

Here's an example of output showing the mismatch.
        .type   _atable_syms_gnu_classpath_tools_keytool_Main$ShutdownHook,
@object
        .size   _atable_syms_gnu_classpath_tools_keytool_Main$ShutdownHook, 24
_atable_syms_gnu_classpath_tools_keytool_Main$ShutdownHook:
        .long   _Utf259
        .long   _Utf111
        .long   _Utf110
        .long   _Utf166
        .long   _Utf111
        .long   _Utf257
        .long   0
        .long   0
        .long   0
Notice the actual size is 36 bytes, not the 24 give by .size.

I'm not sure how we came to think the array had 3 elements rather than 2. 
Here's that "initial" field.
